I doubt it, maybe Dunga is giving him the Thiago Silva treatment, who is persona non grata after losing captaincy and not taking his pathetic lack of leadership well. Tho not even calling up is little weird.
How can Allegri not think about using him against Bayern? He will be a marquee player, irrespective of formation, against a team like Bayern. Perhaps one of our few potentially devastating weapons against them.
Dude is a fucking cyborg. Some wicked crosses in the first half. I'm still amazed at his speed and strength on the ball. Must start against Bavaria Munich.
