AC Milan are threatening to cut short the loan of Chelsea midfielder Tiemoue Bakayoko.

Milan boss Gennaro Gattuso has appeared to suggest that Bakayoko, 24, doesn't have the required maturity to play in his midfield.

"Bakayoko has to learn how to get the ball," he said recently. "We must work correctly. It will not be easy.

"One week is not enough to remove the defects of a player. I would have preferred to be managing older, more experienced club players."

The former Monaco man - who cost Chelsea £40m when he arrived in the summer of 2017 - will be given six games to prove his worth to Milan according to Corriere dello Sport, having only made four substitute appearances thus far.
