At the end of his career, Radja Nainggolan, stranded in his homeland, managed to make ends meet.

The Antwerp "Royal" club indefinitely suspended their midfielder for smoking an electronic cigarette before the match against the "Standard" team.

R. Nainggolan started the match on the bench, but was "thrown" onto the field after the first half.

However, after the match, the Antwerp club management saw footage of the Belgian smoking while on the bench and decided to punish him for it.

The "Royal" team had a fantastic start to the season in Belgium. In the first 9 rounds, the team achieved 9 victories. However, they suffered 2 losses in the last 3 matches.

Currently, the Antwerp team occupies 2nd place in the Belgian league.
