Torino president Urbano Cairo is angry over the physical attention Andrea Belotti has copped this season.

The striker was forced to pull out of the Italy squad with a knee injury this week.

“In these last few games VAR has penalised us unjustly, but what I want to point out is that Belotti is being massacred," Cairo fumed on Radio 24.

“He's constantly being roughed-up during matches, so much so that the player is injured and will have to miss the next games with the national team.

“I firmly believe that VAR is a great innovation, but referees have to be attentive to when to whistle.

“Our season so far? I'd say I'm satisfied, we're on 12 points and we're sixth, level with Milan.

“We can do better though, and our Coach [Sinisa Mihajlovic] is working to try and get some improvements.

“We've actually deserved a few more points, but unfortunately it wasn't possible."
