Yannick Carrasco offers teammate £9,000 compensation after bust up

A training ground scuffle at Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang led to Yannick Carrasco breaking the nose of  defender Jin Pengxiang . 

The Belgian later released an apology to his teammate via the club's social media site on Tuesday, as well as paying £9,000 compensation for the damage caused. 

In the clip, Carrasco can be heard saying the following: It was at a training session, because of a collision we had some small conflicts that eventually caused his nose to be injured. From my point of view, I think Jin Pengxiang is a good player and a very good person."

He continued: "I also want to apologise to him because sometimes in football, including during training, there are many times when an unfortunate collision like this could happen. I also hope that he can recover as soon as possible."

Carrasco only joined the club in February, from Spanish outfit Atlético Madrid, and made a good start to life in the Far East, by scoring the goal that saved his new side from relegation on the final day of the season. 

However, when club football in China resumes, it  seems that he will have some making up to do with the squad. 

The incident in question actually happened in early August, but has only emerged in recent days, after the conclusion of the Chinse Super League season, possibly because Dalian wanted all their focus to be on staving off relegation.
