Carlo Ancelotti skipped UEFA media duties after the players reportedly failed to return to a training camp, which may lead to club discipline
Napoli have threatened to punish their own players after Carlo Ancelotti's first-team stars apparently abandoned a week-long training camp.
Tension is building in Naples following a poor run of form that has seen Ancelotti's side win just twice since September, and the experienced head coach risks a UEFA fine after failing to hold a news conference after Tuesday's 1-1 draw with Salzburg in the Champions League.
Furthermore, widespread reports have said the Napoli players went to their homes after the game in an act of open rebellion, rather than return to a training retreat at nearby Castel Volturno that club president Aurelio De Laurentiis is thought to have ordered.
