The club management confirmed that it does not intend to sell or give up the services of K. Dyer and L. Bowyer despite the fact that they got into a scuffle during yesterday's Premier League match. Both players were sent off the field for this.
In addition, L. Bowyer was also fined the maximum penalty - six weeks' worth of wages. As a result, the footballer will incur a loss of approximately 200 thousand pounds (almost 1 million litas). This is one of the largest fines ever imposed on a footballer in the history of English football. The decision was made by the club management after special talks with both players.
Both footballers also publicly apologized: "We would like to apologize to the club's fans, leaders, employees, and all people related to the club," said L. Bowyer. "We are teammates and even though we have disagreements, we shouldn't fight in front of 50 thousand people." Due to this brawl and the red cards received, both players will miss the FA Cup semi-final match, which will take place on April 17.
The police have also launched an investigation into this incident.
