Matt Ritchie: Newcastle winger apologises for Steve Bruce bust-up

Newcastle midfielder Matt Ritchie has apologised for a training ground bust-up with head coach Steve Bruce.

Ritchie was frustrated with Bruce's post-match comments following Saturday's 1-1 draw with Wolves.

Bruce suggested substitute Ritchie had not passed on information from the touchline seconds before the visitors scored their equaliser.

The club have not commented on the incident, but BBC Sport understands Ritchie has apologised for what he said and that the matter is now considered closed.

Returning keeper Martin Dubravka, full-back Jamal Lewis and striker Joelinton were all criticised along with Ritchie for errors during Saturday's draw.
