Manchester City today fined Richard Dunne two weeks' wages and banned him from the club's training complex for 14 days after he failed to arrive in time for training last Friday, having allegedly been drinking into the early hours.
City manager Kevin Keegan and chairman David Bernstein will discuss the player's fate later this week, with outright dismissal one possible course of action.
"I am very, very disappointed in him and I have told him so," Keegan told the Manchester Evening News.
"He will not be at the club for two weeks. There is a meeting this week and we will see what we can do with him. I am not saying whether he will ever play for my team again until after that meeting."
Dunne lost his place in the City line-up this season after the outstanding start made to the new campaign by Sun Jihai.
