Bologna director Riccardo Bigon warned Amadou Diawara “is only hurting himself” by refusing to attend pre-season training.

The 18-year-old midfielder was nowhere to be seen in today’s get-together and the club released a statement noting disciplinary action would be taken.

It’s believed he is protesting at the failure to complete a transfer to Valencia or Roma.

“It is not a pleasant situation for anyone, but I think he is the one who is being damaged the most by all this,” director of sport Bigon told reporters.

“He certainly doesn’t look like a professional right now, so he’s only hurting himself.

“Diawara is probably having difficulties, but he is not dealing with this situation at all well.”
