Former Liverpool midfielder Naby Keita has been suspended by Werder Bremen until the end of the season and given a "substantial fine" after refusing to travel with the team for Sunday's Bundesliga game at Bayer Leverkusen.
"We won't tolerate Naby's behaviour," said football director Clemens Fritz.
"He let his team down in a time of difficulty surrounding our recent run of form and squad availability and put his own interests above those of the team."
"At this stage of the season, we need full focus on the remaining games and a team who stick together. That's why we've been left with no alternative."
