'It's nonsense!' - Ex-Real Madrid defender Raul Bravo denies ordering death of former team-mate Kovacevic

Former Real Madrid defender Raul Bravo has denied that he was behind the attempted shooting of ex-Serbia international Darko Kovacevic.

Bravo, who had a brief spell with Leeds United in the early 2000s, was a team-mate of Kovacevic's at Olympiacos between 2007 and 2009.

Kovacevic, who had his own short spell in England with Sheffield Wednesday, was attacked outside his home in Athens earlier this month and sustained minor injuries after diving to the ground in an effort to avoid gunshots.
