Manchester City forward Jack Grealish was involved in a tiff with Club America players on Thursday morning after a confrontation with goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa.
Grealish was part of Manchester City's squad that was playing its first preseason game in the United States when the incident happened.
As Sports Bible reports, Ochoa went over to Grealish in the 27th minute to try and help him up. The England international refused attempts from the Mexican goalkeeper, who ended up shoving him.

Things escalated fast, with Grealish returning the favour with a massive shove of his own. Other players milled around the incident, with the two players almost going neck to neck.
Grealish, a former Aston Villa captain, is known for his short temperament. The 26-year-old is always at the centre of attacks, given that he is always at the end of some tough challenges due to his dribbling skills.
He will be hoping to provide more goal contributions up front for Pep Guardiola in the upcoming season after his big-money move. Raheem Sterling's departure to Chelsea might open up more opportunities for him in the star-studded squad.
