Digard: Disciplined
Paris Saint Germain have suspended Middlesbrough target Didier Digard following his public criticism of the club's board.
Digard recently vented his frustration at the delay over his proposed move to Boro, hitting out at his current side PSG.
The France Under 21 international is keen to seal his switch to the Riverside, but feels the PSG board's 'incompetence' has impeded the transfer.
The Ligue 1 side have now disciplined Digard following his public outburst, but stated that their actions will not hinder the progress of his potential switch.
PSG have also suspended striker Amara Diane after he failed to report to training and hit out at the club in the media.
