Radja Nainggolan faces disciplinary issues at Patro Eisden
Radja Nainggolan, the former Belgian international and Serie A midfielder, is facing disciplinary issues at his current club, Patro Eisden. Despite Nainggolan expressing his desire to continue playing at a high level and his belief that he maintains the fitness required for top-tier football, his role at the Belgian side has diminished rapidly.
Following a 1-2 loss to Eupen, coach Stijn Stijnen emphasized that veteran players must take more responsibility. Nainggolan was subsequently left out of the matchday squad for the game against Dender. While Stijnen provided a vague explanation regarding the selection, reports suggest the exclusion is due to disciplinary reasons. This development comes amid a difficult period for Patro Eisden, who have lost five consecutive matches in the Challenger Pro League.
