Swansea City manager Francesco Guidolin was forced to deny more apparent rifts with his players following Ki Sung-Yeung's angry reaction to being substituted during the 1-0 Premier League defeat against Southampton.
After last week's public fall-out with Neil Taylor, having hauled him off before half-time against Chelsea -- he was left out of the squad altogether for the game at St. Mary's.
"This is not a good attitude," Guidolin said. "I have to speak with him. I respect all my players, the relationship is important. There is no problem.
"In this squad I have good guys, good players, there is no problem with the relationship. I can understand it, but it's not a good situation.
"There is not a problem between me and Neil. In this period I prefer Stephen [Kingsley]. I have Angel Rangel as sub and Kyle Naughton can play left or right so I don't need another left-back in the ranks."
Of more pressing concern for Guidolin was an abject performance, with striker Fernando Llorente not getting many opportunities to open his account for the club.
"I am disappointed. We have to improve as soon as possible, because this way it's difficult to win in the Premier League," Guidolin added. "I am worried because my job is my job and it is my attitude to be always ready if it's possible.
"Now we have Man City on Wednesday [in the EFL Cup], Man City again on Saturday, and then Liverpool. We have to improve. The opponent is not important, but our attitude is."
