A ‘scuffle’ with the on-loan Leeds United striker Jay-Roy Got saw Richedly Bazoer ‘sent away’ from Vitesse Arnhem training by the team’s manager Leonid Slutskiy on Wednesday, according to reports in the Netherlands.

Local outlet Omreop Gelderland claims that Grot and Bazoer, a six-time Dutch international, had to be kept apart by teammates after fighting during a training game.

The midfielder is then said to have ‘scolded Grot’s skin’ before being dismissed by the technical staff.

The newspaper adds that, according to spectators, Bazoer gave the summer signing from Leeds ‘a big mouth’ and warned him, “I’ll still get you in the dressing room,” proceeding to tell Slutskiy: “**** off, I don’t want to play for your team.”

It is claimed that Vitesse have confirmed that an incident occurred but ‘could not elaborate’.

Grot, a reported £1.5 million signing for Leeds two years ago, has scored or assisted just two goals in 10 games for his hometown team.

The 21-year-old still has another season left on his Leeds deal after this one, although it is unlikely that he will play again for the Whites, having failed to feature in Marcelo Bielsa’s plans.
