ENGLAND Under-21s star Jonathan Rowe has been backed by Marseille team-mates over his bust-up with Adrien Rabiot.
Both are suspended and have been transfer-listed by the French club.
Both are suspended and have been transfer-listed by the French club.
The pair clashed in the dressing room after Friday’s opening 1-0 Ligue 1 loss at Rennes.
Ex-Norwich winger Rowe, 22, now looks increasingly likely to join Bologna.
Yet sources claim Rowe, who joined Marseille from the Canaries 12 months ago, did not instigate the row which saw both players come to blows.
Stunned team-mates who witnessed it included former Manchester United striker Mason Greenwood — and the blame was put on Rabiot.
Neither are now training with the first team ahead of Saturday’s home clash with Paris FC.
Marseille said the pair’s punishment was “due to unacceptable behaviour and in accordance with the club’s internal code of conduct”.
