Sampdoria defender Daniele Gastaldello has lamented the situation of teammate Antonio Cassano.

Samp president Riccardo Garrone remains determined to have Cassano's contract terminated.

Gastaldello said: "It's not the time to talk about it.

"We must think about playing. Anyway, it's a situation that I'm sorry about.

"It has created a big mess. But we must stay out of it. We are paid to play. The club resolves the other questions."
