Arsenal midfielder Dani Ceballos insists there's been no fallout after his pre-match bust-up with Eddie Nketiah.

The pair, both left out of the starting line-up, had to be separated by team-mates as they clashed in the warm-up before victory over Fulham.

Ceballos put in a hard challenge on the young striker, who appeared to take exception before being shoved by Ceballos.

Nketiah then blasted the ball at the midfielder, who shoved him again as team-mates stepped in to prevent it escalating further.

The incident did not seem to impact the Gunners as they ran out 3-0 winners with both introduced as late substitutes.

Ceballos has since posted an image to Instagram showing him and Nketiah alongside the caption: "No problems here my brother".

After the game, manager Mikel Arteta told his press conference he was inside at the time of the incident and did not see what happened.

"I haven't seen anything. I was inside," he said when asked about what happened between the pair.
