The relationship between Fenerbahce boss Jose Mourinho and new recruit Jhon Duran has got off to a rocky start.
Mourinho, who is headed into his second season with the Istanbul giants, was angered by Duran’s absence as his side began their preparations for the campaign in Portugal.
The former Chelsea and Manchester United boss labelled the Colombian’s actions ‘disrespectful’ and suggested that he will face consequences for his truancy.
‘It’s disrespectful. There are clear rules here, and anyone who doesn’t follow them will face consequences,’ the Portuguese told reporters.
‘We’ll talk to him when he shows up, if he does.’
The 21-year-old moved to the Turkish side on a season-long loan this summer just six months after joining Al-Nassr from Aston Villa in a deal worth £71million.

Sofyan Amrabat could soon be on his way out of the club after failing to impress the Portuguese
While in the Saudi Pro League, he netted 12 goals in 18 matches, helping Al-Nassr finish third in the standings. His departure from the Midlands in January came amid reports that he had a testing relationship with Villa boss Unai Emery.
Spanish outlet Marca claim that Duran is expected to be in Portugal for training in the next few days.
Elsewhere, Mourinho’s early-season fury has reportedly been set upon former United midfielder Sofyan Amrabat.
According to Turkish outlet Yenicag, Mourinho was not impressed by Amrabat’s performance in a recent friendly and wants him cut from the team.
