Sweet Jesus, we love a good training ground bust up. And this is probably our favourite since Balotelli and Mancini.
The Daily Mail reports an alleged incident involving Chico Flores and Gary Monk at Swansea's training ground on Friday.
They say that police were called after Flores picked up a brick during an argument with Monk. Police showed up at the training ground when they were alerted by a member of the public, who is thought to be the mother of a Swansea youth player.
Police took no action and issued a statement saying:
Police were called to the training ground at around 1.30pm on Friday 17 January. Club officials were spoken to and no police action was required.
According to a Swansea spokesperson, the matter has been resolved:
Chico Flores and Garry Monk had an exchange of words, which is not uncommon between players in training grounds across the country, but no threats or altercations took place between the players in question.
‘It’s understood a member of the public phoned the police, who felt no action was required. The matter has been dealt with and is concluded.
Watch this space for further details on the alleged brick. Wirecut, pressed or reclaimed, goddamnit we want to know.
