The Barcelona midfielder has taken to Instagram to defend his honour following accusations of a bust-up with a member of the media
Arda Turan has responded to allegations of an altercation with a journalist by hitting out at attacks on his "dignity" in the media.
The Barcelona midfielder was reportedly involved in an incident with a reporter from the Milliyet newspaper on the Turkey squad's flight back following their 0-0 friendly draw with Macedonia on Monday.
Arda is said to have been furious that the reporter – named as Bilal Mese – was allowed to travel on the plane due to reports, circulated after Euro 2016, alleging a dispute between senior Turkey players and the Turkish Football Federation (TFF) relating to bonuses they were said to be owed for reaching the finals.
