Ekwueme gets Polish ban
Emmanuel Ekwueme
Ekwueme has infuriated club bosses
Nigerian international Emmanuel Ekwueme has been suspended by his Polish team Wisla Plock for a breach of club rules.

Plock suspended Ekwueme for three months and imposed a fine of $5,000 after turning up late for pre-season training and taking part in Nigeria's friendly game against Venezuela in London.

Plock president Krzysztof Dmoszynski said the club will not tolerate "further acts of indiscipline" from the 24-year-old striker.

"I don't think he's a bad player," said Dmoszynski. "But we have had enough of his behaviour.

"Ekwueme will not play for us in any games, including Uefa Cup matches.

"Last week he was informed that we were against his trip to London to play in a friendly match for Nigeria against Venezuela, as it was not an official Fifa date."

The Wisla president admitted that the club could be forced to part company with the Nigerian international.
