Juventus boss Fabio Capello has insisted that there is no Mauro Camoranesi problem developing at the Stadio Delle Alpi.
The midfielder has been controversially replaced in the club’s last two games, just minutes after coming on to the pitch as a substitute himself.
But Capello has looked to calm the storm by maintaining the winger will soon be back to his best for the Italian champions.
"I replaced him because I didn’t want to gift our opponents with a possible dismissal," stated the Coach.
"He was certainly nervous and edgy, even if I can’t really explain why that is the case as there are no specific problems.
"He’ll now go off on international duty where I am sure he will find the tranquillity that he needs."
Camoranesi replaced Robert Kovac against Bayern Munich on Wednesday, but was taken off just 15 minutes later.
His substitute appearance against Livorno in the 3-0 win yesterday was cut short after he clashed with Cristiano Lucarelli, by firstly blasting the ball at him and them hacking him down from behind.
Juventus director general Luciano Moggi, who has hinted that the player may be fined for his actions, believes Capello’s decision to take him out of the game was the only option.
"Camoranesi is not in a great moment of form," said the official. "He wants to give a lot but things aren’t happening for him right now.
"Capello did well to take him off even if it is unfortunate that this has now happened twice to the player."
