Getafe coach Victor Munoz was forced to separate warring teammates Mario Cotelo and Cosmin Contra at training yesterday.

Marca says the blow-up came during a bounce game when Contra challenged Cotelo, who was in possession at the time. The Spaniard turned round and punched Contra, who then attempted to respond before they were separated.

Munoz was forced to step in as the pair had eachother by the throat.

Later, the Getafe coach said: "These things can happen, but I don't want it to be a regular thing."
