• Both players were removed from first-team training following the dispute, and the club said the consequences were communicated to them on Monday.
• Rabiot’s camp disputes the club’s rationale and portrays such clashes as not unusual, while reports say coach Roberto De Zerbi questioned the midfielder’s engagement compared with last season.
• According to reports, the decision was relayed to Rabiot via his lawyer, and sporting director Medhi Benatia was then reportedly unreachable for the player.
• Rabiot is under contract until summer 2026 and logged nine goals and five assists in 29 league appearances last season, with both he and Rowe starting in the defeat at Rennes.
