Borussia Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc has revealed his alarm at the apparent discontent between coach Thomas Tuchel and utility man Kevin Grosskreutz.
Long-serving midfielder Grosskreutz commented on Thursday that nobody had spoken with him at Dortmund "for weeks" amid rumours he could be sold.
Tuchel responded after his side's 1-0 Europa League victory later that day, criticising Grosskreutz's decision to go public with his discontent rather than discuss the issue with him.
However, Zorc is shocked with how the row has escalated as he believes that the duo have been communicating closely ahead of the new Bundesliga campaign.
"I cannot understand this, we always have contact," Zorc is quoted as saying by Ruhr Nachrichten.
"I am surprised by that a lot. Grosskreutz should really have said something because our coach spoke extensively with him in our training camp a few days ago.
"If he has a desire to talk, we are available to him. He should see that he comes back in shape and completes the training sessions after his injury.
"We are not pressing for a change."
