Union Berlin suspend Datro Fofana for attitude issue despite Chelsea striker's apology

David Datro Fofana has been suspended for a week by his club Union Berlin for refusing to shake hands with the head coach.

The striker walked past the manager and snubbed his offer of a handshake after being subbed off in the Champions League defeat against Napoli.

The suspension comes after the Ivorian apologised on social media.

“Following my behaviour during my exit from the field, I wanted to apologise to the club, the coach, my team-mates and the supporters,” he wrote.

“This gesture was not intended and in no way does it represent my attitude, all this was generated as a result of frustration because I wanted to continue helping the team to obtain a positive result.

“We will continue to work and come back even stronger in the championship and in this great competition.”

The Chelsea loanee has been quite below-par at Union. He's made 11 appearances across all competitions but has failed to score a goal or provide an assist.
