Ceballos, Nketiah Involved In Pre-match Bust-Up Before Fulham Clash

Arsenal duo Dani Ceballos and Eddie Nketiah had a pre-match bust up on Saturday ahead of the Gunners’ Premier League opening fixture against Fulham.

Both players were named on the bench for the first Premier League fixture of the season at Craven Cottage.

During a warm-up, the Spaniard jumped in with a rough tackle on Nketiah before shoving him in the chest.

After splitting, the pair came back together in a war of words, and both ended up pushing each.

They were eventually separated by left-back Sead Kolasinac.

Former Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand played down the scuffle, though, and says it happens all the time in training.

BT Sport presenter Jake Humphrey brought attention to the incident, saying: “We’ve just noticed something happening out on the pitch.

“Just take a look at the bottom of your screen there, small sided game, and you can see Dani Ceballos looked like he went in a little a bit hard there on Eddie Nketiah.”
