Juventus GM Marotta: Morata axing no surprise

Juventus coach Max Allegri dropped Alvaro Morata for their Champions League win over Manchester City.

Mario Mandzukic sealed a 1-0 result in Turin.

“I am not amazed by Morata's absence, but let us not forget a game lasts 90 minutes," Juve GM Beppe Marotta told Mediaset Premium.

“Massimiliano Allegri's decision was pondered carefully. Nobody can doubt Morata's quality and he is one of the best young players in circulation."
