Dennis axed from Club Brugge’s squad to face Borussia Dortmund because of bus seating incident

Emmanuel Dennis has been axed from Club Brugge’s squad to face Borussia Dortmund in Tuesday’s Champions League Group F clash due to disciplinary reasons.

According to Belgian news outlet Het Laatste Nieuws, the Nigeria international who was in action as the Blue-Black silenced FC Zenit Saint Petersburg 2-1 in October, was dropped from the squad after he reacted angrily on the team bus because he was not allowed to sit where he wanted.

Brugge had placed strict measures on the team bus amid the coronavirus pandemic.
