La Gazzetta dello Sport claims Ibrahimovic made a dangerous sliding tackle on Onyewu, who reacted furiously. Ibrahimovic then tried to retaliate and the pair had to be separated by team-mates.
Onyewu has only just returned from a serious knee injury, which kept him out of action for the entirety of last season.
Coach Allegri then decided to suspended training. Around 30 fans witnessed the fight.
It remains to be seen whether the two players will be sanctioned for causing such a scene. After all, it's not the first time Ibrahimovic has rubbed his teammates up the wrong way since joining Milan. He was caught on camera directing a Taekwondo kick at Rodney Strasser for no apparent reason.
Adriano Galliani insists the training ground brawl between Ibrahimovic and Oguchi Onyewu was “a good sign.”
“It’s true that there was a vivacious clash between them and the training session was suspended for a little while,” confessed Galliani.
“It often happens on a football field and the news only made headlines because it was witnessed by a few fans in the stands, as we were on one of the outer training pitches.
“In any case, they cleared the air between them and I spoke to both of them for a long time. It’s all over.
“In fact, I consider it to be a good side. I like to see players with grit. I prefer that to training sessions with chamomile tea where people are falling asleep.”
