Ross Barkley is facing further questions over his professionalism after he was videoed dancing topless and seemingly the worse for wear in a Dubai nightclub during last week's international break.
The Chelsea midfielder, who has been out for a month with an ankle injury, had permission from his club to go on holiday and was not misbehaving in the video.
But manager Frank Lampard may feel the need to have a word with him, especially after criticising the 25-year-old for a row with a Liverpool taxi driver in September.
On that occasion Barkley was escorted to a cash machine by two policemen to withdraw money to pay a taxi driver after a late night row over spilled chips.
The incident was filmed by an onlooker after Barkley had apparently refused to pay for the mess he had made in the taxi.
This browser does not support the video element.
The police were called and the officers took him to the cash machine and he handed them money, which was then given to the taxi driver.
Lampard accused the England international of being naive, saying: 'The lads were given a day off. He doesn't need permission to be in Liverpool.
'And he hasn't committed a crime other than eating chips in the back of a cab, which is probably a bit out of order for the cabbie, but what he has done is be naive to be out on that evening in the build-up to a Champions League game.
In the latest video, Barkley can be seen topless swinging his shirt around his head as a member of the nightclub's security appears to warn him.
Barkley can be seen embracing another shirtless male as they dance before he is lifted into the air as a group of females nearby attempt to control them.

As if he would have started anyway. Let's not make a big deal out of it and let him enjoy his friday night disco lol. The media will do anything to destroy people for a scoop. He didnt behave violently or do any crazy atrocious action, in this case I cant really blame him. And before anyone says he is a bad example, remember he didnt choose to be filmed, someone did it without his permission so he never intended to be a bad influence. Get of his case.

He is already a bench player and I don’t why he should be dancing with another topless guy because the security even cautioned him Buh it seems he is even drunk
