VALVERDE: “MY TEAMMATE DID NOT HIT ME, AND I DID NOT HIT HIM”
Confirming that he had an argument with his teammate, Valverde stated that the argument did not result in a fight.
Valverde made the following statements in his post on his US-based social media platform Instagram account:
“Yesterday, I had an incident with my teammate at a position in training. Fatigue and frustration can make some things seem bigger than they are. Today we had an argument again. During the argument, I accidentally hit a table and had a small cut on my forehead. That’s why I had to go to the hospital as per protocol. My teammate did not hit me in any way, and I did not hit him. I know it is easy for people to believe that we were fighting or that the incident was intentional, but nothing like this happened.”
