Feyenoord have suspended striker Colin Kazim-Richards for threatening a journalist.

The 29-year-old former Sheffield United and Blackburn forward confronted an Algemeen Dagblad reporter who questioned his attitude and was subsequently dropped for Feyenoord's Eredivisie meeting with PSV Eindhoven.

He has now been suspended for two weeks, with an official statement from the Dutch team reading: "The club has applied this measure in response to the behaviour exhibited by the assailant on January 15.

"The suspension means that Kazim-Richards will not be at the club, will not train, and will not play in any games, until the end of the month."

Feyenoord will review the Turkey international's "situation" after February 1.

Kazim-Richards, who was born in Leytonstone, joined Feyenoord from Turkish club Bursaspor last summer following a successful loan spell last season.
