Nov 24 (Reuters) - A squabble over seating arrangements on
the team bus cost Club Brugge forward Emmanuel Dennis a place in
the squad for Tuesday's Champions League clash at Borussia
Dortmund, Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws reported.
The 23-year-old Nigerian stormed off the bus after being
told he was not allowed to sit in his preferred seat due to
social distancing measures amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the
report said, and he did not make the trip to Germany.
Brugge manager Philippe Clement said in his pre-match news
conference on Monday that Dennis was fit but unavailable for
selection due to disciplinary reasons.
"He didn't follow the club's rules, that's all I want to say
about that... I prefer to concentrate on the players who are
available to me," Clement added.
Dennis, who joined Brugge in 2017, scored twice in their 2-2
Champions League draw at Real Madrid last season.
He also netted in the Belgian club's victory over Zenit St
Petersburg in their opening group match in Europe's elite club
competition this season.
Brugge are third in Group F with four points from three
games, behind leaders Dortmund and Italy's Lazio.
