Although the South Wales police confirmed they had been called after the row, there was no mention of a brick in the statement they released, which said: “Police were called to the training ground at around 1.30pm on Friday. “Club officials were spoken to and no police action was required.”

Swansea also denied that Flores threatened Monk with a brick, with a the club saying: “The club can categorically state that nobody was threatened with a brick.”

A Swansea spokesman added: “Chico Flores and Garry Monk had an exchange of words, which is not uncommon between players in training grounds across the country, but no threats or altercations took place between the players in question.

“It’s understood a member of the public phoned the police, who felt no action was required.

“The club can categorically state that nobody was threatened with a brick. The matter has been dealt with and is concluded.”
