SV Werder Bremen has taken decisive action against midfielder Naby Keïta, suspending him until the culmination of the current season.
The club’s decision follows Keïta’s refusal to participate in the Matchday squad last weekend after learning he would not be starting. The 28-year-old Guinean international, known for his prowess on the pitch, will no longer engage in team training sessions or have access to the first-team dressing room.
Keïta’s unexpected departure from the Matchday squad has sparked controversy within the club, prompting management to impose a significant fine on the midfielder in addition to his suspension.
Sources close to the situation reveal that tensions had been brewing between Keïta and coaching staff over playing time and selection decisions.
Despite attempts to address the issue internally, Keïta’s actions during the recent match became the tipping point, leading to the club’s disciplinary measures.
This development comes at a crucial point in SV Werder Bremen’s season, as they strive to secure their position in the league standings. Keïta’s absence from the squad poses both a logistical and strategic challenge for the team, as they navigate the remaining fixtures of the campaign.
The club’s decision to suspend Keïta shows their commitment to upholding discipline and professionalism within the team.
As speculation mounts regarding Keïta’s future with SV Werder Bremen, the midfielder’s immediate focus will be on addressing the repercussions of his actions and seeking to reconcile with the club and his teammates.
