Idrissa Gana Gueye vs Michael Keane
After their headline-grabbing clash, it’s time for reconciliation between Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane at Everton.
Last Monday, Idrissa Gana Gueye and Michael Keane sparked major controversy in England following their heated altercation during the Premier League match against Manchester United (0-1). The incident, which saw the Senegalese midfielder slap his own teammate, led to Gueye’s sending off. The next day, Gueye defused the situation by taking public responsibility and issuing a heartfelt apology, determined to put out the firestorm.
This Thursday, however, the saga took a much lighter turn. In a video shared on Thierno Barry’s Instagram story, Gueye and Keane can be seen stepping into a makeshift mini-octagon set up on Everton’s training ground. Both players, all smiles, engage in playful banter before squaring up in a mock face-off that ends with a warm embrace—a clear sign that all is forgiven.
