Romelu Lukaku had to be separated from his Inter Milan teammate Marcelo Brozovic after the pair reportedly clashing following the side’s frustrating 1-1 Champions League draw against Slavia Prague.

Intter rarely looked threatening during the Tuesday night, September 17, clash at San Siro, and had to rally from behind to secure a scarcely deserved point in the Group F fixture.

The Italian giants went behind on the hour-mark, with Peter Olayinka gifting the visitors the lead, before Nico Barella striking at the stroke of stoppage time to secure a 1-1 draw.

However, Inter's poor performance on the night is said to have escalating off the pitch, with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting Lukaku clashed with Brozovic in the dressing room.

Lukaku, who joined Inter from Man United in the summer, decided to give a pep talk to his new teammates in the dressing room.

He is understood to have urged the side to play with a more attack-minded attitude to integrate with manager Antonio Conte’s tactical plan.

But that did not go down well with every team member, with Brozovic inferring that some of Lukaku’s criticism was aimed at him and squared up to the former United attacker.

The pair subsequently exchanged unpleasantries, and nearly exchanged blows before teammates intervening.
