Inter will examine the on-pitch clash between Romelu Lukaku and Nicolo Barella in the goalless draw with Sampdoria and both players could be handed a fine.

The two Nerazzurri stars argued in the first half of their 0-0 draw with the Blucerchiati on Monday night, producing an unexpected scene on the pitch as Lukaku furiously told Barella to improve his attitude.

The Italian midfielder is known to vent his frustration at his teammates when things go wrong, something the Belgian striker didn’t accept in Liguria.

As reported by Corriere della Sera, Inter will examine the argument today and may hand fines to both Lukaku and Barella, keen to avoid any repeats of this situation.

Simone Inzaghi has already made it clear that he doesn’t want to see similar situations again and wants the squad to return focus to their upcoming Serie A commitments.

Inter’s next match is against Udinese at home on February 18.
