German powerhouse Bayern Munich have fined Italian hitman Luca Toni and highly rated defender Philipp Lahm for their conduct this weekend.
Toni left the stadium at half time of the 1-1 draw with Schalke, after being substituted by coach Louis van Gaal, while Lahm criticised the club in an interview with the Suddeutsche Zeitung.
Both players have been given a considerable fine for their conduct, after being reprimanded by Van Gaal and the club's chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge before training on Sunday.
A statement on the club's official website reads as follows:
"With his unauthorised early departure from the Bundesliga match and the Allianz Arena on Saturday, Luca Toni committed an unacceptable breach of club discipline. The board has resolved to levy a substantial fine. In the meantime and notwithstanding the fine, Luca Toni has apologised for his behaviour to the club and his team-mates."
Club vice-captain Philipp Lahm, who was openly critical of the club, the coach and his team-mates in an interview, has violated internal club rules in a flagrant and inexcusable manner, according to officials.
“Philipp has broken both these clearly-defined agreements,” Rummenigge commented.
“We are disappointed, because as our vice-captain, he fundamentally bears a special responsibility towards the team and the club. Philipp Lahm will be punished with a fine heavier than any levied before by FC Bayern Munich.”
