Manu, Kolo involved in training ground feud
January 5th, 2011 - 6:47 pm ICT by ANILondon, Jan.5 (ANI): There has been tension between Manchester City stars Manu Adebayor and Kolo Toure since Toure publicly told some players at the club to stop wining and get on with the job before a match with Fulham in November.
Adebayor and Toure were involved in a training ground scrap recently, The Sun reports.
Adebayor believed Toure was aiming the comments at him and there has been problems between them ever since.
Those problems finally blew up yesterday when, after a series of niggly tackles between the two, Adebayor fouled Toure from behind.
Toure took exception to the challenge and the pair grappled on the floor.
Team mates rushed to the scrap to separate them and four players had to pull Adebayor back while James Milner grabbed Toure.
They refused to make up afterwards despite being ordered to by manager Roberto Mancini to do so.
The shocking incident happened at lunchtime as City prepared for tonight’s clash at the Emirates. (ANI)
