Newcastle United midfielder Ki-Sung-yeung insists that the Newcastle squad are still together, as they prepare to face Manchester City this weekend.
The Magpies have struggled so far this season, with the team without a win in the opening three games.
They have one point so far (0-0 draw at Cardiff) and have lost the other two games to Tottenham on the opening day, and Chelsea last weekend - and also, going out of the Carabao Cup to Nottingham Forest in midweek.
There have been rumours that there had been bust-ups behind the scenes at Newcastle, with reports of Jamaal Lasceles and Rafael Benitez locking horns.
Midfielder Ki, though, has rubbished those reports and has insisted the squad are still fighting with one another.
"There is no problem with anybody in the squad and the atmosphere is good," Ki told the Daily Star.
"Maybe because we have lost some games, outside of the camp people are trying to say something blah, blah.
"It's a difficult time but we don't need to have our heads down. It can happen. Last season this season this team was together with their discipline and they were working so hard to stay in the Premier League.
"That's why we finished 10th. Everyone was so desperate to stay up."
