Training Ground Tussle: Neymar Slaps Robinho Jr. in Santos Session

Brazilian superstar Neymar reportedly lost his temper during a reserve training session at Santos. He clashed with 18-year-old Robinho Jr., son of former Brazil star Robinho, after being dribbled past in practice. An argument broke out when Neymar told the teenager to take it easy. The pair pushed each other before Neymar slapped and tripped his young teammate. Both players were withdrawn from the session and later apologised to resolve the incident. The bust-up came after both stars were left out of Santos’s squad for their Copa Sudamericana match against Recoleta. Club officials say the matter has been settled internally following Neymar’s apology.
