The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
Outlook
Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
Struggling to settle into the squad
Minor
Cause

Outlook
Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

Serious
Cause
After a long, difficult settling period he is openly hoping for a move home or to a familiar club. (The move took him to a different continent.; He still does not speak the local language.)
