Crystal Palace captain Luka Milivojevic and Michy Batshuayi had to be pulled apart by team-mates during a training ground bust-up ahead of last night's Premier League draw at Arsenal.
Sportsmail has learned that the feuding duo came to blows on Wednesday after an increasingly tense training exercise got out of hand, to the astonishment of onlookers.
The angry flare-up is understood to have been triggered by Milivojevic's irritation at Batshuayi's attitude during a passing drill, in which Palace's players were asked by the coaching to test each other's first-touches by kicking the ball at each other with increasing power.
