– Royal Antwerp midfielder Radja Nainggolan has been suspended indefinitely for general behaviour that reflected badly on the Belgian Pro League team, the club said in a statement on Monday.

– The former Inter Milan and AS Roma player was arrested last week for being behind the wheel when his driver’s licence had expired and was seen smoking an e-cigarette on the bench ahead of Sunday’s 3-0 loss at Standard Liege, Belgian media reported.

– “Clear agreements have also been made about what our club does and does not expect from the player,” Antwerp said.

– Antwerp, second in the First Division a point behind KRC Genk, added that 34-year-old ex-Belgium international Nainggolan and the club would not comment further as the team focuses on preparing for games against KV Oostende and Genk.

– However, Nainggolan said on his Instagram account that he was very sorry for what he had done.

– “The club has made a decision I can only accept, even though I think it might be a bit too severe for me. But I will try to contribute in one way or another,” he added.
