Former Arsenal midfielder Matteo Guendouzi appears to have landed himself in hot water once again after being involved in yet another training ground bust-up; this time at new club and French giants Marseille.
The midfielder was previously touted as one of the biggest talents in the world game after bursting onto the scene at the Emirates Stadium under Unai Emery.
His hard-working, energetic and overall skilful performances brought about a dynamic manner to the Arsenal midfield, who were undergoing huge change at the time thanks to Arsene Wenger’s retirement.
But his time in north London was marred by behavioural issues and a failure to lead by example, leading to his temporary and eventually permanent move back to his homeland and away from the club.
And according to French outlet L’Equipe, that side of his game has continued to shy away with the star having an altercation with new boss Igor Tudor – who disciplined the star for his actions.
The report states that Tudor is renowned for being tough with his squads, which supposedly goes against the maverick-filled squad at the Stade Olympique.
A completely different profile to former boss Jorge Sampaoli, there have been question marks over whether Tudor is the perfect fit for the club or not.
And the report states that a ‘lively altercation’ between Tudor and Guendouzi, with the latter ending up ‘hitting the showers’, packing his stuff and leaving his team stranded for the second half against AC Milan in a friendly last week.

Club chief Pablo Longoria has reportedly stepped in to say that the behaviour is unacceptable and that he won’t fall for anyone displaying signs of nostalgia to win Sampaoli back.
Tudor is set to start Guendouzi on the bench in the season opener against Reims on Sunday night to set an example to his players.
This is madness to Goundozi I have been his fan in the past but because of his attitude I don’t even care to hear his name on my lip anymore his careless about his life Ana attitude which is very poor of him and he is doing to ruin his career himself a wise person hid advice
So Arteta has been proven right
Player is an absolute joke. He has no self control & believes he is far better than he is. The best thing Arsenal done was to get rid of him. He was not worth the effort. Average player who is so arrogant & petulant he needs to grow up. If he carries on in the vein nobody will touch him.
Where is Wenger when you need him?
Sorry to hear this. Personally, I am disappointed to hear that Guendouzzi is at it again. I loved that kid and felt so sorry that he can’t handle his temper. It’s sadder still that clubs are less caring these days to ignore a problem like that. In days gone by Wenger would have put an arm around Guendouzi shoulders and tell him a story which would calm him down and listen to home truth. Now it’s about ” you fit or you leave”. There are kids who need patience and love to grow. Van Persie come to mind. When he came to Arsenal he was sold cheap, just to get him out of the club. £4,9 M inspite of his talent. His 1st match at Arsenal he was brought on at 2nd half in what was one of the last games at Highbury. Robin came on and immediately scored an equaliser against Southampton. Five minutes later Van Persie was sent off after knocking out someone in Saints defence. He was trouble at training ground but Wenger told to be patient. That and massive injuries lead to calls to sell him and get rid of that trouble. Wenger was not having it. Van Persie came good and became a darling of supporters. Therefore, I get sad reading him telling the media that the best manager he ever had was Fergurson. By the time Fergie took him to Man utd Van Persie was a man with wife and children. Without Wenger he would not have reached there.
Why did I imagine you jerking your meat and moaning Wenger Wenger while reading this😩😩😩😩
