Manchester City have confirmed that Brazilian ace Robinho has walked out of the club's training camp in Tenerife.

The 24-year-old is rumoured to have stormed out after an argument with manager Mark Hughes, with further reports suggesting that he was heading home to Brazil.

The £32million signing from Real Madrid has been a major success for the Citizens this season, scoring 12 goals in 20 appearances for Hughes' side.

However, the club are now reeling from a massive double blow, with Robinho's tantrum coming hot on the heels of AC Milan ace Kaka having rejected a world record move to Eastlands.

Robinho had been linked with a move to Chelsea before he opted to head to Manchester and the Stamford Bridge club have been linked with a renewed approach for the talented forward.
