It's said Dybala didn't take well to being left on the bench for the entire game and let Paratici know his views in no uncertain terms.

Dybala is yet to play a minute in Serie A this season under manager Andrea Pirlo.

Instead, the rookie manager has favoured playing youngsters Manolo Portanova and Dejan Kulusevski.

So far this term, Juve have won twice and drawn twice.

Yesterday's 1-1 draw was a shock, with Crotone having lost their first three matches of the campaign.

The result means Juventus trail table toppers AC Milan by four points.

Explaining the decision not to play Dybala, Pirlo said the 26-year-old had not been able to prepare properly for the game.

The Italian said: "He trained yesterday for ten minutes, it wasn't the ideal match."
