Cardiff City midfielder Harry Arter says any rift with Republic of Ireland assistant coach Roy Keane is now over.

The Bournemouth midfielder, currently on loan at Cardiff, made himself unavailable for September's games with Wales and Poland, with manager Martin O'Neill later admitting a spat with his No 2 may have been behind his absence.

In an interview with The Sun, he said: "We spoke like men and it's water under the bridge. I wasn't happy with what happened.

"I pulled out as it was best for myself and, most importantly, the squad. The good thing is, it's been sorted. It wasn't an apology I was after.

"I can take having arguments with people, that's part of life, but I don't like that sort of confrontation and wasn't sure what the situation was between me and Roy."
