BERLIN (Reuters) - Schalke 04's teenage Wales winger Rabbi Matondo apologised on Wednesday after being photographed wearing a shirt of the German club's arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund in a private training session this week.

Matondo was given a dressing down by Schalke officials after an Instagram post of him training in the shirt in a Cardiff fitness studio caused a social media storm among Schalke fans, whose Ruhr rivalry with Dortmund is long standing.
