As reported by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the Biancocelesti president is incredibly angry with the Italian national team’s medical staff, believing that they mishandled star striker Immobile, who had to withdraw from the camp with a calf injury.

It is unclear if Immobile hid the problem in order to be a part of the Azzurri squad or if it came up during training.
The 31-year-old Italian striker wants to be on the bench at least in the upcoming match against Juventus but the doctors do not think he is ready to play yet.
