"Bari" footballer's combat actions: throwing the ball into teammate's hip © EuroFootball.com

The atmosphere in the Italian club doesn't seem to be the best - the team's defender Salvatore Masiello threw a salad bowl at his teammate during lunch.

Although Alesandro Crescenzi managed to cover his face, the wound pierced by the shattering dish had to be sewn with 40 stitches.

It is said that Masiello's target was not Crescenzi, but goalkeeper Zdenek Zlamalis. The incident may have arisen from a conflict that occurred last weekend in a match against "Avellino". At that time, Masiello demanded to take the 11-meter penalty kick, although he does not usually do that, but he failed to score a goal.

"Bari" intends to appeal to the Sports Arbitration Court and terminate the contract with Masiello.
