Chelsea head coach, Maurizio Sarri angrily left the training ground in Baku on Tuesday evening ahead of their Europa League final match against Arsenal.
Sarri’s furious exit is reportedly said to be caused by the disagreement between David Luiz and Gonzalo Higuain.
Shortly after the Italian had told the media of his ‘love’ for his Chelsea squad in his press conference ahead of Wednesday’s clash a disagreement broke out between defender Luiz and striker Higuain towards the conclusion of the session at the Olympic Stadium.
Sarri, whose future with the Premier League club still remains in doubt, was seen repeatedly throwing and kicking his cap as he walked off the field.
However, Chelsea later denied that Sarri’s anger was caused by his players, with the club releasing a statement claiming the problem was that his squad were denied the chance to work on their set pieces.
A Chelsea spokesperson said: “Maurizio’s frustration displayed at the end of training was not related to any of his players, but was due to not being able to practise set-plays in the final 15 minutes of the hour-long training session as it remained open to media.”
