Timber went hard on a challenge with Weghorst, who was left upset
Weghorst, 32, appeared to be unintentionally stepped on by Timber, 23, as he ran hard after the ball. Weghorst was obviously furious following the incident.
Soon after the fight, the two players got into a furious argument, and the Ajax player confronted Koeman about the tackle.
Weghorst was abruptly interrupted by the former Everton manager, who shouted, “I said something to you, I said something to them.”

Nevertheless, the former Burnley star persisted in expressing his annoyance, and Koeman could then be heard exclaiming, “And now it’s over!”
When training ended and Weghorst’s teammates from the Netherlands were still on the pitch, the camera captured him leaving the training area.
The striker got onto his bike and rode off, evidently using his phone.
Koeman declared of Weghorst after he had left the pitch, “He has no injury.”
Tuesday’s match between the Oranje and Germany at the Johan Cruijff ArenA will feature Timber and the centre forward.
Weghorst scored the game after he and the Arsenal defender came off the bench, as the two players helped Holland thrash Bosnia 5-2 in Eindhoven on Saturday.
The two goals scored by the visitors in that particular encounter were the result of two crucial mistakes made by United’s star player, Matthijs de Ligt.
After the game, De Ligt responded with an X-rated expression, expressing his disgust at his performance.
