Overview
- The training-row that unfolded Thursday at Formello saw coach Gennaro Gattuso halt the session and order midfielder Kenneth Taylor off the pitch after Taylor complained about a knock and bristled at a rebuke.
- The exchange was filmed on Lazio's official livestream and video of Taylor leaving the field circulated widely, prompting immediate attention from club staff and media.
- Club sources say talks were held between Gattuso, Taylor and the sporting department before the afternoon session and the player rejoined training the same day.
- Taylor's agent called the incident a "storm in a teacup," the squad administered a light‑hearted ritual 'punishment,' and Lazio indicated no serious disciplinary sanctions are expected.
- Taylor, signed from Ajax in January for about €17 million and contracted until 2030, scored after coming on in Lazio's 6-3 friendly win over Avellino while media reports note unconfirmed outside interest in the player.
