Radja Nainggolan suspended indefinitely by club after smoking on bench

Royal Antwerp star Radja Nainggolan has been suspended by the Belgian club after he was caught smoking on the subs' bench before a recent league fixture.

The former Roma midfielder was named amongst the substitutes for Sunday's Belgian Pro League clash away at Standard Liege, which Antwerp eventually lost 3-0. And Nainggolan's efforts to sneak in a quick smoke of his e-cigarette before kick-off have also come unstuck as he was spotted by cameras and photographers and caught red-handed.

He has only recently been in hot water with his club after being stopped by Belgian police for driving without a licence - an incident which Antwerp did not comment on publicly. But his latest misdemeanour seems to have crossed the line with club chiefs, who have now suspended him indefinitely for his actions.
