Marseille goalkeeper Steve Mandanda has played down a
dressing-room altercation between his team-mates Michy
Batshuayi and Abdelaziz Barrada.
Reports by French newspaper 20 Minutes said Bayshuayi
and Barrada had to be separated from exchanging blows by
players and staff after Sunday's 1-0 Ligue 1 win over
Nantes, while a wall outside the Marseille changing room
was damaged during the incident.
Batshuayi rejected the "misunderstanding" as "nothing" and
Mandanda also sought to quell any controversy ahead of his
team's Europa League match against Braga.
"It happens everywhere," he said, "Every year there are one
or two small [incidents].
"It happened, it lasted 10 minutes. It was then completed.
"It's part of the life of a squad. I see no problem. This is
something that often happens. I've seen worse.
"This is not something that bothers me or shocks me more
than that."
