Bologna coach Thiago Motta has been assured by management he has their full support in his row with Marko Arnautovic.
Motta has frozen out Arnautovic in recent games, unimpressed by the Austrian's training ground form.
The veteran has been visibly annoyed with his situation, but Motta's stand will remain.
Indeed, today Motta met with sporting director Giovanni Sartori this morning and is also due to discuss the issue with GM Marco di Vaio. And TMW says the coach has been assured he has the club's full support. This despite Arnautovic being their top earner.
Motta is expected to start Musa Barrow at centre-forward for their next game against Spezia.
