AC Milan impose heavy fine on Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko, review interest in midfielder

Reports in Italy claim AC Milan have fined Tiemoue Bakayoko €90,000 for turning up late to training and could bench him against Bologna on Monday.

The incident, reports Football Italia, infuriated Coach Gennaro Gattuso and is believed to be the final straw that prompted the entire squad to be called into a five-day training retreat.

According to La Repubblica, Bakayoko apologised to the Coach and his teammates for arriving an hour late to training, as he was driving to the ground only to run out of petrol.

However, he was still fined €90,000 and will likely be dropped for Monday night’s Serie A match against Bologna.

It also added to the concerns within the club about purchasing him outright from Chelsea for €35m.
