A 'friendly' match between the Blues and the Qatari outfit turned into anything but according to reports...

According to reports, Chelsea have been forced to deal with a training ground brawl which occurred during a hastily arranged behind-closed-doors friendly match against Qatari side Al-Ahli.

Sky Sports has reported that an FA official was present at the match and a full incident report is expected to be filed about the incident, with the blame expected to fall squarely on the shoulders of Al-Ahli.

The Chelsea squad included Rhys Taylor, Jeffrey Bruma, Carl Magnay, Gael Kakuta and defender Jack Cork, who is now on loan at Championship outfit Coventry City.

A spokesman for the Londoners told Sky Sports, "There was an unfortunate incident but it has been dealt with."
