Jude Bellingham has been involved in a training ground bust-up with Real Madrid team-mate Antonio Rudiger, according to a report.
Madrid are at a crunch point of their season as they face failing to win either the Champions League or LaLiga this term, finding themselves up against it in both competitions.
In LaLiga, Bellingham and Co are four points behind Barcelona – having both played 31 games – in the race to win the league title, following their 2-1 defeat by Valencia last week.
They scraped past Alaves on Sunday, having played more than half of the game with 10 men following Kylian Mbappe’s red card early on for a high challenge.
In the Champions League, meanwhile, Los Blancos are 3-0 down going into the second leg of their quarter-final clash with Arsenal, with a record-breaking comeback needed to progress to the last-four.
And tensions, according to El Chiringuito, boiled over in training on Friday, with Bellingham and Rudiger having to be separated by team-mates.

It is reported that former Chelsea defender Rudiger put a bad tackle in on Bellingham and received an insult back from the England star.
The report reads that the incident took place during a small-sided game and that other team-mates had to interfere to separate the duo.
They did, though, resolve the matter, with it also said that incidents as such as described as normal at this stage of the season.
Bellingham and Rudiger have played together 78 times since the former joined Real Madrid from Borussia Dortmund last summer, combining for one goal in total.
In that time, they have played more than 6,200 minutes together, winning both LaLiga and the Champions League last season.
They both played the full 90 minutes against Arsenal in the 2-0 defeat at the Emirates last week, and will likely start the return leg on Wednesday night.
