SERBIA goalkeeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic was involved in a fight with a fan just days before a vital Euro 2024 game, shock reports claim.
Milinkovic-Savic - the younger brother to ex-Lazio star Sergej - was back-up keeper for the tournament in Germany and did not play.
According to Serbian newspaper Telegraf, Milinkovic-Savic went to a bar in Munich during a free day ahead of the match against Denmark.
It is claimed a fan spotted the player and confronted him on why he was not with his team-mates preparing for the last match of the Euros.
That is when tempers allegedly flared with Milinkovic-Savic accused of swearing at the supporter before then 'throwing a punch'.

Bar security are said to have intervened before the owner also separated the pair.
The bar owner was interviewed by the Serbian paper - and gave a somewhat watered-down account of what happened.
He said: “Vanja came to our bar, but the security at the entrance didn’t recognise him and they didn’t want to let him in because he was wearing the national team shorts, which made him angry and there was a fight.
“I soon intervened, I grabbed his hand and told him to come in with me, but he refused. Everything happened in the bar’s garden.
"I didn’t hear what they said at him and what they said to each other. I’m glad that in the end we resolved everything.”
