Manchester City defender Vincent Kompany was dropped by Belgium for Wednesday night's friendly with Qatar because he has been late twice, according to The Manchester Evening News.
Belgium manager Dick Advocaat was apparently angered by the player's tardy arrival at a team meeting prior to Saturday's victory over Hungary.
For being five minutes late, Kompany, one of his country's biggest footballing stars, was left on the bench for the game.
He was then dropped entirely by Advocaat, after returning four hours late after being granted permission to attend a family funeral.
Due back by 8pm, the player apparently did not return to the squad until midnight on Monday night, and made no attempt to inform his manager by phone or text.
He was therefore left out of the squad for the 2-0 win over Qatar in Sedan, France.
Kompany missed City's last game, the 3-3 draw with Burnley, with a slight hamstring tear.
