    Cause
    The discussion focused on his recent performance level.
  5. Squad status changed

  6. Clashed with Marco Just over training standards

    Minor

    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
  7. Struggled with training intensity

  9. Settling well into the dressing room

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.
