However, following his remorseful apology, the club has reportedly decided that it is unnecessary to fine the striker, as the matter is seemingly resolved.
The former Royal Charleroi point man has been without the shooting boots that earned him the Cappocannoniere last season, failing to find the back of the net in his last four tries for the Serie A champions.
With all parties regarding the incident at Stadio Renato Dall’Ara as water under the bridge, the striker will be expected to start tomorrow against Udinese at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.
