"?Frank de Boer has called on Marcelo Brozovic to show more commitment to Inter Milan after the Dutchman dropped him for the recent win at home to Juventus.
"?Goal report the Croatian international has been told by De Boer to 'step up' and show his loyalty to the team before he will be considered for re-selection again.
The 23-year-old reacted angrily to being substituted at half time during the shock Europa League defeat to Hapoel Be'er Sheva.
The Croatian international was then left out of the squad for the game against the Serie A champions and vented his frustration on Instagram, but De Boer wants him to prove his ability on the pitch.
De Boer said, "Brozovic needs to show he's a part of this team and work hard. I treat all my players equally and I am always ready for a chat. I have a good relationship with my players."

De Boer also revealed on Wednesday that new signing Gabriel Barbosa may make his debut against Empoli on Wednesday.
De Boer said, "Gabriel trained Monday for the first time with the squad, he looks OK. The match against Empoli will be an important encounter. We have to keep the same attitude we had against Juventus.
"We always have to work together, as a team. That's what we saw against Juventus and I want the same against Empoli. We want to dominate in every game. That's my philosophy.
"We did well on Sunday but we can improve even more. We were compact against Juventus. You have to have this mentality to win games."
