Napoli coach Spalletti seeks to end public row between Demme and Anguissa

Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti says a nasty row between Diego Demme and Andre-Franck Anguissa is over.

Demme had blamed Anguissa for a serious injury suffered in training, hitting out at his teammate on social media.

After victory over Monza, Spalletti said: "Surely we are all sorry.

"He accepted the apology, then he had a hot reaction on social media then he realised he had exaggerated and again apologised.

"We are here ready to welcome him back because we will need both of us."

Demme faces a month out due to a foot injury.

"I am always positive, but I got injured because somebody doesn't know how to control himself. It's impossible to change the past, but we can change the future," he previously posted, without mentioning the ex-Fulham man.

Demme, 30, has now apologised in another Instagram story, where, once again, he didn't mention his teammate.

"I was wrong to put something like that online, we have spoken and we are all united," said the midfielder.

"The most important thing is the team and today we play our first match at home. Forza Napoli sempre."
