Joe Gomez revealed the aftermath of his bust-up with Raheem Sterling as the pair emerged for England training on Tuesday.
Gomez walked out alongside Liverpool team-mate Trent Alexander-Arnold as cameras picked up a scratch underneath the defender's right eye.
Sterling followed shortly afterwards next to Atletico Madrid full back Kieran Trippier.
It came less than 24 hours after the decision was taken by Gareth Southgate to axe him from the clash against Montenegro on Thursday night.
