REPORT: Cuadrado refused to warmup before being thrown on against Fiorentina
Asked by Coach Max Allegri and Juventus' physio to warm up in the second half, the Colombian was adamant that he wouldn't... ON TWO OCCASIONS, according to Sky's Alessandro Alciato.
The former Fiorentina player would eventually be subbed on two minutes from time, and was held responsible for a foul on Nikola Kalinic, which led to Fiorentina's penalty. Though what we've seen so far tends to absolve the 27-year-old (see below), he didn't look in great shape, either.

Cuadrado would later block a shot from outside the box.
With recent reports indicating that Antonio Conte (always a fan of his) wants to bring him back to Chelsea, could the Necocli native have run out of steam, or motivation? Or is he angry that he hardly ever starts?
