Bust-up in AC Milan training

AC Milan players Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Oguchi Onyewu were involved in a furious training-ground bust-up yesterday, according to reports.

The pair had to be separated by teammates following a fight at the Milanello training complex, Ansa reported.

The incident was sparked by a hard challenge between Sweden forward Ibrahimovic and United States centre-back Onyewu.

Coach Massimiliano Allegri took the pair to one side and suspended training for a few minutes until things calmed down.
