West Ham United midfielder Morgan Amalfitano has reportedly been banned from training by Hammers boss Slaven Bilic after breaches of discipline.
According to the Daily Mail, Bilic told the midfielder to stay away from their Chadwell Health training ground and has been told to train with the Under-21 side at Rush Green instead.
The French International signed a new two-year contract at Upton Park in March but was often limited to substitute appearances last season, started just seven times under former manager Sam Allardyce.
Bilic's trouble’s with the midfielder started after Amalfitano missed a team meeting and reportedly showed his manager a lack respect when questioned about his no-show in front of his teammates.
As a result, Amalfitano was dropped from the squad for the 2-0 win at Arsenal on the opening day of the Premier League season and his future at Upton Park has been thrown into serious doubt.
