A challenge on Fiorentina striker Moise Kean drew a furious reaction from his teammates during a pre-season friendly against League One side Bolton Wanderers on Friday evening.
Midway through the second half of Friday’s friendly, Bolton defender George Johnson slid in with a robust challenge on the former Juventus, PSG and Everton forward.
Though the Englishman seemed to win the ball, Fiorentina players were not pleased by the intensity of the challenge in what was meant to be a pre-season run-out.
Several players from both sides came together in the aftermath, before eventually being separated by the officials.
Fiorentina went on to draw 1-1 in Lancashire on Friday night. They are also due to play Preston on Saturday, before facing Hull City on Tuesday to complete their mini-tour of the North of England.
