After an altercation with Arsenal defender Jurrien Timber, former Manchester United player Wout Weghorst walked out of a training session in the Netherlands.

According to Dutch publication AD, Koeman had to intervene to attempt to calm the former Manchester United striker down. He said, “And now it’s done!” to put an end to Weghorst’s complaints. Some of the emotions that have been surrounding the Netherlands team in recent days are reflected in the incident. The manager looks to need some counselling to mend the connection between Weghorst and Timber after openly criticising Steven Bergwijn for joining Al-Ittihad of the Saudi Pro League.

Consequently, what happened?

Weghorst and Timber, who came off the bench in the Netherlands’ 5-2 victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina in the UEFA Nations League, were part of a training session led by head coach Ronald Koeman for the reserves and substitutes. The Arsenal player, according to ESPN, was incensed with his international teammate after making a late tackle that Weghorst believed should have resulted in a foul. Eventually, the Ajax forward flung his shirt to the ground and removed it, then he left the session.

WERE YOU AWARENESS?

Despite having 40 caps for his nation, Weghorst hasn’t played longer than 45 minutes in a competitive game since a little over a year ago in a Euro 2024 qualifier against the Republic of Ireland. After rupturing his ACL at the beginning of his debut season at Arsenal last year, Timber has made his way back into the Dutch team.

HOW WILL THE NETHERLANDS FACE THIS?

Next up for the Netherlands in the Nations League is a match against Germany on Tuesday. Following their altercation on the training pitch, Weghorst and Timber’s involvement is uncertain.
