Jhon Duran has only been at Fenerbahce for two weeks following his arrival on loan from Al-Nassr but is already in Jose Mourinho's bad books after being called "disrespectful" over his no-show at training
Former Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran has fallen out with Jose Mourinho already, just weeks after signing for Fenerbahce, after failing to turn up for the start of pre-season training.
Duran has linked up with Mourinho's men on loan from Saudi Pro League side Al-Nassr after deciding to cut short his time in the Middle East.
The 21-year-old was only with Al-Nassr for six months after netting 12 goals in 18 appearances before it emerged he was set to leave Cristiano Ronaldo and Co.
His switch to Fenerbache on loan came as a surprise but he jumped at the chance to work with two-time Champions League winner Mourinho, who is about to begin a second campaign in charge of the Super Lig side.
But it seems he has not made a good impression with the former Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham boss, who said the striker showed a lack of respect with absence and warned he would be punished.
"It's disrespectful," Mourinho said. "There are clear rules here, and anyone who doesn't follow them will face consequences. We'll talk to him when he shows up, if he does."
Turkish reports have claimed Duran will report for training in the coming days as Fenerbahce gear up for the start of pre-season.
They play their first game of the summer on Thursday when they take on Portuguese outfit Portimonense.
It looks unlikely Duran will feature in the game and he will have to work quickly to get on the right side of the legendary manager.
Mourinho has shown in the past he has no trouble falling out with players if they rub him up the wrong way.
He previously clashed with Paul Pogba over a training ground dispute at Manchester United and famously bickered with Karim Benzema at Real Madrid, criticising his work rate and effort.
He was similarly critical of Eden Hazard at times during his second stint at Chelsea and was left unimpressed with his refusal to track back.

Mr Mourinho, people have lives outside their profession. And don't 4get Duran may be in the country for the first time so it's only logical that he wonders around trying to know the country, sth like that. It would be bad if he has done sth like this b4. Sometimes a bit of patience does the trick; you wait for him to explain himself b4 going to the media. If you ask me, that's unprofessional from Mourinho. A good coach tries to protect his players, like a parent his children.
So, on his first day at work, he tries to wonder around, to know the country? Whatever happened to proper planning on his part, I don't know. How about taking proper official permission that he won't be at work? He didn't do that, but rather left everyone with no information. Is it Mourinho that is unprofessional or the player who broke the employee code of conduct that binds him to his contract? Mourinho is right this time.
