Arsenal in training bust-up with David Luiz hitting Dani Ceballos on the nose, knocking him to the floor before both players were sent home and forced to apologise to each other

David Luiz struck Arsenal team-mate Dani Ceballos in the face during a sensational training ground bust-up over the international break.

The pair had to be separated by manager Mikel Arteta after a challenge by Ceballos sparked a scrap.

The fight occurred during a practice match last Friday, when many of the Arsenal squad were away with their national sides.
