Malawi\u2019s ambassadors in the Caf Champions League, Be Forward Wanderers, have cracked the whip on right-back Stanley Sanudi for posting a video in which he flashed K1,000 and K2,000 banknotes.<\/p>\n
Sanudi has been slapped with an indefinite suspension pending hearing.<\/p>\n
This means the Flames defender has been ruled out of Wednesday\u2019s second leg match against Democratic Republic of Congo\u2019s (DRC) AS Vita at Bingu National Stadium (BNS) in Lilongwe.<\/p>\n
Sanudi courted controversy following the clip that went viral on social media, in which he boasts about possessing the banknotes, calling them change from the DRC trip.<\/p>\n
Wanderers lost the first leg match 4-0.<\/p>\n
The player\u2019s action was viewed as a mockery to the Nomads\u2019 Caf Champions League campaign as the team has been in dire straits looking for sponsorship to compete in the continental showpiece.<\/p>\n
Sources said Sanudi was sent back from training on Friday after some members of the technical panel felt that the player was becoming unruly.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe had behaved as if he was not being mentored by legends like Jack Chamangwana and Yasin Osman who have played football on the big stage,\u201d said the source.<\/p>\n
Wanderers Team Manager, Steve Madeira, confirmed that Sanudi would not feature in Wednesday\u2019s tie set for BNS as his case was awaiting a disciplinary hearing.<\/p>\n
\u201cStanley will not be part of the squad because he has been suspended on disciplinary grounds. However, I cannot comment further because it is a disciplinary issue. I can only stress that Wanderers does not condone indiscipline,\u201d Madeira said.<\/p>\n
Sanudi\u2019s phone could not be reached for a comment, but he is on record to have issued an apology to Wanderers and the entire soccer fraternity for his showing off.<\/p>\n
However, the player and some senior figures at Wanderers have also been posting video clips on social media highlighting Nomads\u2019 participation in the continental competition.<\/p>\n
The former Azam Tigers defender is considered one of the best players in the country because of his ability to defend and attack.<\/p>\n
Wanderers need to win 5-0 to boot out Vita and reach the next round.<\/p>\n
In another international assignment, Masters Security are set to face Atletico Petroleos de Luanda in the Caf Confederation Cup tomorrow at BNS.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
