Goalkeeper Jerome Prior and defender Lamine Sane have been suspended indefinitely by Bordeaux.

The French club acted following a 'serious incident' in the dressing room after their cup exit at the hands of fellow-Ligue 1 side Nantes.

Bordeaux say they will make no further comment on the matter insisting no one within the club will 'answer any questions about the decision'.

On Wednesday the Girondins bowed out of the French Cup at the last 16 stage after Alejandro Bedoya's 118th-minute goal gave Nantes a 4-3 extra-time win.

The suspensions for Sane and Prior bring even more problems for an already porous defence that have conceded 18 goals in their last six matches.
