Bonucci to miss Juventus' clash with Porto

The central defender is to sit in the stands for Wednesday's Champions League game after a heated row with his coach in the win over Palermo
Leonardo Bonucci will not feature for Juventus in their Champions League last-16 tie against Porto on Wednesday for disciplinary reasons.
The centre-back had a heated argument with coach Massimiliano Allegri during their 4-1 win over Palermo on Sunday.
Late in the game, Allegri was overheard on video calling the Italy international a "dickhead" and telling him to "fuck off" in an argument that continued beyond the final whistle. It ended with Bonucci telling Allegri to "go to hell".

Allegri reacted calmly in the press conference afterwards, saying: "There was a misunderstanding, but it’s no issue, these things happen."

It seemed as though it was business as usual when Juventus published the list of players in the squad for the game, which included Bonucci.
However, it seems Bonucci has been punished after all as he will not even be an option from the bench in his side's first-leg game in Portugal, as he will be forced to watch from the stands.
