Juventus’ season has been marred by a lack of lucidity and cohesion at a crucial moment, according to reports.
Massimiliano Allegri’s press conference was filled with controversy, and the exclusion of Angel Di Maria from the squad list for the Bologna match has raised suspicions of further internal issues.
Di Maria was officially absent from the squad due to an ankle problem, but reports suggest that there could be more to the story.
The Argentine striker allegedly suffered a “slight ankle sprain” just before the team’s final training session, and chose to exclude himself from the squad after being informed that he would not be starting the game.

Allegri’s decision not to start Di Maria did not sit well with the coach, particularly due to the timing of the communication.
This has increased internal tension in a dressing room that is struggling to find common ground. With a regained +15 lead to defend, Juventus will be facing Thiago Motta’s Bologna, who are known for causing upsets.
This will mark Allegri’s 100th consecutive different lineup, further highlighting the team’s struggles this season.
