Arsenal stars Eddie Nketiah and Dani Ceballos make up after heated scrap during warm-up for Fulham victory

Dani Ceballos and Eddie Nketiah are friends again following their angry bust-up before Arsenal's 3-0 victory over Fulham.

The Gunners duo, who both started on the bench for the trip to Craven Cottage, were caught violently pushing and shoving after a fallout during a training drill.

Nketiah appeared riled by a strong challenge from Ceballos, who then pushed his teammate away.

The ball then makes its way back to Nketiah, and the pair square-up to each other.

Arms begin to flail before their fellow substitutes get involved to calm things down.

Ceballos has since taken to Instagram to insist there is no lasting issue between him and Nketiah.

The Spaniard shared a selfie with his teammate along with the caption: "No problem here my brother."

Rio Ferdinand, working as a pundit for BT Sport, played down the incident.

He said: "Sometimes it gets heated, you'll see that once or twice a week at the training ground.

"It just so happens we've been here to see it.

 

"I wouldn't be too disappointed with that."

Both players might've expected to start for the Premier League curtain-raiser - which Arsenal won thanks to goals from Alexandre Lacazette, Gabriel and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

Instead, Mikel Arteta sprang a suprise by naming Mohamed Elneny in midfield, while Lacazette started up front despite rumours of a potential move away from the Emirates.
