Juventus midfielder Leandro Paredes forgot his shirt and caused a delay during the team’s match against Sporting CP on Thursday, but it was due to a misunderstanding rather than forgetfulness.
According to journalist Romeo Agresti, Paredes had given his shirt to a fan, believing that he would not be needed for the match. However, when coach Massimiliano Allegri decided to bring him on as a substitute, Paredes was forced to retrieve a new shirt from the dressing room.
This incident occurred just days after Paredes and Allegri had a disagreement about the midfielder’s playing time, which has been limited since he joined Juventus on loan from Paris Saint-Germain last summer.
Despite his lack of game time, Paredes has been a key figure in Argentina’s national team, helping them win the FIFA World Cup last December.

While it is unclear what impact this incident will have on Paredes’ relationship with Allegri and his future at Juventus, it is clear that the midfielder’s forgetfulness was not the root cause of the delay.
The incident has drawn attention on social media, with fans and pundits speculating about the reasons behind it.
Juventus, who were eliminated from the Champions League group stage earlier this season, are currently seventh in the Serie A table and are still fighting for the big four, but with the hope to win Europa League and Coppa Italia.
