AC Milan boss Montella calm as Bacca spotted at Sevilla game

AC Milan boss Vincenzo Montella shrugged off Carlos Bacca's absence for victory over Empoli.

The Colombia international was injured, but instead of resting or watching his teammates, he was spotted in the stands at Sevilla's match against Valencia.

“I knew Bacca was at the Sevilla game, he got authorisation from me and the club," said Montella.

"It was his day off, he can do what he wants and I hope he enjoyed himself at the match. It's not an issue, players do need some time off occasionally."
