Footage hints at fall-out between Burnley teammates over international flashpoint
Footage suggests Burnley teammates Connor Roberts and Wout Weghorst appeared to fall out when their national teams faced off on Wednesday, as per a Daily Mail report.
Weghorst netted a last minute for the Netherlands in a 2-1 Nations League victory over Wales, who Roberts played the full 90 minutes of that game.
Having joined Burnley back in January, Weghorst was unable to prevent the club suffering relegation from the Premier League to the Championship, with the striker scoring just twice in 20 appearances.
As a result, it seems the fact that Weghorst was able to make such a telling impact for the Netherlands on Wednesday, did not go down well with Roberts.
According to this report, images have emerged after the game of the defender approaching the Dutch international, before asking: “Why didn’t you do that for Burnley?”
After initially ignoring the approach of his club teammate, Weghorst apparently then turns to Roberts and tells him: “This isn’t about Burnley, shut up”.
