The claims led to Wolves banning the ex-Spain star from senior training until at least the end of January.
Now The Athletic have disclosed the allegations against the 29-year-old.
The 2019 signing from Atletico Madrid is also said to have damaged some items in the players’ room during the flare-up.
The Athletic say Jonny clashed with Chirewa in training at Compton Park around 10 days ago after a challenge from the 20-year-old angered him.

The sports website report that the three-cap star aimed an elbow at Chirewa but missed.
However, he then allegedly spat at a member of the coaching staff who had tried to pull him away from the incident.
As things stand, Jonny appears unlikely to play for Wolves again.
Molineux sporting director Matt Hobbs said after the clash: “I’ve sat down with him, he’s apologised, and we have outlined the way forward.

“We had a conversation and have agreed that at least until the end of the January window he won’t be part of the first-team group.
“He will still be training at the club and, if he chooses, he can play for the under-21s to keep up his match sharpness, and I think, knowing him, he’ll probably do that.”
Hobbs added: “This is a guy who has been a great servant to the football club.
“One incident doesn’t define the role he’s played during the successful times and the man he is day to day around the place.
“Everybody has moments and that’s all it was, but we have to deal with it and move forward for the wider group.” More

How Roma could line up if Mourinho lands his rumoured transfer targets this summer

Mourinho will officially take charge at the Stadio Olimpico next month.
But that hasn’t stopped the Portuguese chief from getting a head start on his transfer moves.
The ex-Manchester United, Chelsea and Real Madrid chief has been linked with a host of Europe’s top talent.
And incredibly, Mourinho could take charge of a team made up entirely of former Premier League stars.
Edin Dzeko, Chris Smalling, Davide Santon, Pedro and Henrikh Mkhitaryan are already on the books of Roma.
They played for Manchester City, United, Newcastle, Chelsea and Arsenal respectively earlier in their careers.
But of the possible new arrivals, most-notably the new Roma chief is believed to be monitoring Eden Hazard’s situation.
The Belgian winger has struggled for form and with injuries since joining Real Madrid in a move rising to £150million in the summer of 2019.BETTING SPECIAL – GET ENGLAND TO WIN EURO 2020 AND HARRY KANE TO BE TOP SCORER AT 18/1

FREE to playHazard worked under Mourinho at Chelsea and it’s claimed the Special One wants a reunion in the Italian capital.
Mourinho is keen to bolster the spine of his team, with Eric Dier and Ben White both possible targets at centre-back.
Dier is falling out of favour at Tottenham and could use a fresh start, but Brighton star White is being chased by a host of clubs with Roma not thought to be strong frontrunners.
In goal, Wolves stopper Rui Patricio is in the mix, along with Juventus veteran Gianluigi Buffon and United outcast Sergio Romero.
Mourinho is clearly keen to boost his midfield options, though.
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – with whom the boss worked at Spurs – is believed to be a top target, along with Arsenal star Granit Xhaka.
Man Utd outcast Donny van de Beek is also set to be offered a route out of Old Trafford, with Mourinho believed to be keen.
Other big name targets linked with a move to Roma include Lille star Renato Sanches, Wolves striker Raul Jimenez and Fulham’s Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Old favourites Erik Lamela and Nemanja Matic have also been mentioned as potential targets for Mourinho, along with Leicester’s Demarai Gray.
Incredibly, Cristiano Ronaldo has also emerged as a possible option, according to Italy legend Christian Vieri.
