Jordan Henderson and Bertrand Traore, his teammate at Ajax, got into a heated argument.

In the Europa League on Thursday, Ajax defeated Besiktas 4-0 in Amsterdam, dominating the match from beginning to end.

However that didn’t stop the former England star from making his feelings clear to Traore.

The winger, who previously played for Chelsea and Aston Villa, had given away the ball in his own half before conceding a foul.

What followed was an altercation between Traore and Kian Fitz-Kim, before Henderson got involved and made it very clear what he thought of the 29-year-old.

The former Sunderland man got right in Traore’s face, where they could be seen exchanging heated words.

Henderson then had to be pulled away by Fitz-Kim and Devyne Rensch, as he walked away still raging.

Footage on TNT Sports appeared to show Henderson saying, “f——- embarrassing,” to himself after being removed from the argument.

Speaking after the match, Henderson played the incident down saying: “If you watch me play over the years, that’s pretty normal to be honest.”

Asked if his behaviour was intimidating, Henderson replied: “It’s football! We want to win, we want to improve!

“If we concede a goal there is still much time left. Sometimes you will have words with each other but it’s good, it keeps everybody on their toes.”

While the night ended in a comfortable victory for Ajax, the atmosphere in the dressing room is likely to be anything but comfortable when the players greet each other again.

Traore came through the youth setup with Chelsea before going on to score four goals in 16 appearances for their senior team.

A move to Lyon followed in 2017, before he returned to the Premier League with Aston Villa after joining for £17million.

There he scored 10 goals and provided seven assists in 62 matches before joining Villarreal in February, before moving on to Ajax in the summer.

There, he connected with Henderson, who moved to Amsterdam in January of this year following a brief stay with Al Ettifaq.

But it was at Liverpool that he made his name after 492 games, many of which he played as captain, and a run of successes in the Premier League and Champions League, among other tournaments.

After finishing sixth in the Eredivisie the season before, Ajax will be hoping for a better showing this time around.

But considering that the squad is currently ninth in the league, you can see why Henderson would be a little bit irritated as he tries to guide the Dutch giants back to their former glory.
