Vecchi admits Gabigol facing Inter Milan action after strop

Inter Milan caretaker coach Stefano Vecchi admits Gabriel Barbosa will face action after victory over Lazio.

Barbosa walked away from the bench after failing to get onto the pitch as a substitute.

Vecchi said: “Perhaps the expectations were a bit too high from the fans, the club and media for Gabigol. It's not exclusively the fault of the Coach. He has good qualities and must put those to work for the team.

“I am sure the club will take action, just as it already has done against some players behind the scenes. I think for next season we need to sort out the little things first, as this opportunity has arisen to fix those issues during this difficult time.

“There is a lot of competition for places here. In this squad there are players like Mauro Icardi, who scores 25 goals a season, Eder who works so hard, and an exceptional player like Rodrigo Palacio who trains at his hardest in every session. He sets the example for what the younger players ought to do."
