Split again on its feet over Livaja: He did not appear at team training, refuses to apologize

Marko Livaja, the captain of Croatian football club Hajduk Split, has been removed from the team's training camp in Slovenia after a dispute with head coach Gonzalo García and sporting director Robert Graf. The incident occurred when Livaja and several teammates returned late from an outing.

According to reports, Livaja refused to participate in extra running drills assigned as punishment by García. This refusal led to his departure from the training camp. He had previously met with club president Ivan Bilić, and was expected to rejoin team training on Sunday, but this did not happen. Livaja has reportedly also refused to apologize for his actions.

Despite the conflict, Livaja has been registered for Hajduk's upcoming Europa League qualifying match against Žilina on June 9. The club and player are reportedly seeking a resolution that benefits both parties. It remains uncertain whether Livaja will leave the club, but the situation is expected to be clarified before the match.
