Robinho is becoming increasingly isolated from the rest of his Manchester City teammates, it has been revealed.

The Sun says most regard Robinho as arrogant, aloof and largely disinterested.

A habit of performing tricks in training matches does him no favours and neither does turning up for games in jeans and leather jacket when the team has been told to wear club suits.

He has two friends, though, in fellow Brazilians Elano and Jo - and the bonds are very close.

At training last Friday, he boasted to fellow players that Kaka was a 'done deal.'

Perhaps it was the thought of facing them and the truth which sent him over the edge.

But his walkout yesterday has certainly intensified the ill-feeling towards him at the club.
