Inter Milan Suspend Nainggolan For Indiscipline

By Max Wise

Inter Milan’s unimpressive start to the season has been compounded with the news that former Belgium international, Radja Nainggolan, has been suspended by the club for ‘disciplinary reasons’.

The 30-year-old former AS Roma midfielder has had a difficult start to his Inter Milan career, with injury issues restricting him to just 11 Serie A appearances so far this campaign.

Inter's statement read: "Inter can confirm that Radja Nainggolan has been temporarily suspended from football activity for disciplinary reasons."

Inter Milan have neither disclosed the reasons for the player's suspension nor the duration it will take making it uncertain if he would available by December 26 when the side play Napoli.

Nainggolan was missing in action at this summer’s FIFA World Cup in Russia for Belgium after Roberto Martinez omitted him from the Red Devils’ squad leading the former Cagliari man to call time on his international career.

Inter Milan signed Nainggolan for €38m from Roma in June and he has scored three goals in 15 games for Luciano Spalletti’s side.

The 2010 UEFA Champions League winners currently sit third in the Serie A standings, trailing leaders Juventus by 16 points.
