So reports the MEN, who also confirm the reports from this morning of some sort of disagreement between Bellamy and Roberto Mancini.
It is easy to jump to conclusions in situations such as this but rather than a flat denial Mancini has confirmed there were at least 'words' between the pair.
“These things (an argument) can happen in a job. I don’t have problems with Craig.
“I spoke with him in the office and read that I shouted at him. But I didn’t. We just spoke face-to-face.
The Sun has gone with typical gusto at the story:
A stunned insider said: "The manager was yelling 'Why are you always questioning me? Why won't you do as you are told? Why are you always questioning everything at training and in games?'.
We know Bellamy is a fiery type who has been known to question team-mates and managers alike previously and it wouldn't be surprising if there was substance to the report (although it is hard to lend too much credence to anything that appears in The Sun).
