Touchline spat between Napoli coach Spalletti and captain Insigne played down

A touchline spat between Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti and captain Lorenzo Insigne has been played down.

The pair exchanged words after Insigne was taken off during victory at Fiorentina on Sunday.

However, it's emerged Insigne was only pointing out that he could've played on.

CalcioNapoli24 reports he looked at Spalletti, telling him: "I had more in the tank."

Insigne insisted he wasn't tired and therefore, he wanted to remain on the pitch.
