  THE GOSSIP

  The 31-year-old midfielder remains on the books of the Bianconeri despite getting a four-year ban as a result of failed doping tests last year. The player, however, remains upbeat as he is now taking his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

• DID YOU KNOW?

  This is not the first time that Hasbulla met global football stars. Earlier this year, he had met players like Gianluigi Buffon, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Patrice Evra at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
