Lazio’s Kenneth Taylor involved in verbal battle with manager Rino Gattuso | OneFootball

Serie A side Lazio have constantly lingered on the edge of chaos and something similar has no unfolded involving midfielder Kenneth Taylor and Rino Gattuso.

La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the incident took place during training today. Lazio are having their pre-season training sessions at the Formello and Taylor was present. The squad was undergoing a tactical drill under the orders of Gattuso today.

Taylor was hit by a teammate and then complained about it. This stopped the game and Gattuso thought this is quite normal during training. Taylor responded by verbally attacking the Italian.

An argument ensued and Gattuso reacted by calling Taylor out and sending him out of the training session. Without further comment, the midfielder went back into the locker room.

Training then continued as normal, obviously without Taylor. A meeting between coach and player is likely in the next few hours to see if—as it appears—the Dutchman will participate in the afternoon session without any issues.
