The two team-mates tangled during the World Cup qualifier between Wales and Republic of Ireland but their manager is not concerned
Mark Hughes insists he has no concerns about a clash between Stoke City duo Glenn Whelan and Joe Allen on international duty, claiming his own competitive nature would have seen him tackle his own grandmother.
Whelan and Allen were involved in an altercation during the tempestuous 0-0 World Cup qualifying draw between Republic of Ireland and Wales on March 24.
Team-mate Erik Pieters stressed that there was no bad blood between the midfielders and Hughes says they trained as normal on Thursday.
