Tiemoue Bakayoko has contested Gennaro Gattuso's claim that it took the midfielder eight minutes to get ready when asked to warm up as a substitute during AC Milan's victory over Bologna, with the France international saying he prepared himself "immediately".
Gattuso and Bakayoko were seen exchanging cross words during the first half of Milan's 2-1 victory at San Siro on Monday, after which Gattuso said: "I told Bakayoko to warm up, but it took him eight minutes to get ready."
Jose Mauri was sent on for the injured Lucas Biglia in his stead, and the incident comes soon after Bakayoko, who is at Milan on a season-long loan from Chelsea, had to apologise to his team-mates after arriving an hour late for training.
