There are reports Cesc Fabregas left Como star Nico Paz on the bench against Lecce today for disciplinary reasons after the Real Madrid product turned up late to a meal.
It was very surprising when the starting XI for today’s Serie A match did not include the young Argentine, especially considering he was suspended for last week’s 2-0 win away to Juventus.
Nico Paz gets the message from Fabregas
Fabregas was asked about the situation before kick-off, questioned on whether Nico Paz was rested ahead of Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final against Inter.
However, he replied it was “not because of that, it was simply a choice that I made.”
According to Sky Sport Italia, the real reason has now been revealed, and it is disciplinary action to send a message to the rest of the squad.
Nico Paz reportedly irritated the Como coach by turning up late to a team dinner in preparation for this game.
He did come on as a substitute eventually in the 3-1 comeback victory, so has evidently been forgiven after this initial warning.
