Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares was told he should leave a recent training session by Marseille manager Igor Tudor, according to French outlet L’Équipe.
Earlier this week, Tudor admitted to sending an unnamed player back to the dressing room because of poor work ethic. "In my football, there is a feature, you have to run", he said.
"And if you don’t… If I see one player that doesn’t run in training, I’ll say it once, twice and then on the third time of asking, I’ll intervene.”

Now, the aforementioned report has claimed that this player was Tavares, who had earned considerable praise from Tudor just a few days ago. "He is a boy who is still young," said the Croatian when discussing the 23-year-old
"He has high level physical qualities. He has extraordinary explosiveness; he could play at Real Madrid, Barcelona or Manchester City.
"There are other things he needs to improve. He must progress, we often talk. There’s always room for improvement, we’re here to help. We make him see concrete things to improve."
