Six Stitches For Aouate After Training Ground Bust-Up

During the Deportivo training session this morning, Aouate and Munúa became embroiled in an argument which led to Munúa punching Aouate in the face.

Aouate was taken away by the club's medical staff and required six stitches to close up the cut that Munúa's attack had caused.

Club President Augusto César Lendoiro will meet with manager Miguel Ángel Lotina this evening to discussions the repercussions from the incident.

Once the meeting is adjourned, Deportivo will release a statement to the press confirming the details of the incident and what action they will be taking against those involved.

The bust-up comes just a day after Aouate told the press of the unfair treatment he felt he had received after being dropped from the side in favour of Munúa in recent weeks.

Details are currently scarce on the exact cause of the fight, although it is thought that Aouate's comments may have been the root cause of the disagreement.

If both players are reprimanded by the club, then reserve goalkeeper Manu may be called into action for their trip to Villarreal on Sunday.
