CSKA Sofia coach Lyuboslav Penev has suspended nine players after they were spotted at nightclubs, a violation of the Bulgarian team's disciplinary rules.
Penev's decision comes after his team lost its last two games, one against rival Litex Lovech 2-0 and another at home against Minyor Pernik 3-0.
The suspended players include Bulgaria internationals Ivan Karadzhov, Ivan Ivanov, Kiril Kotev and Yordan Todorov.
Penev did not specify the duration of the ban, but said Monday that all nine will be dropped from the squad for Thursday's Europa League game at FC Basel.
CSKA Sofia is at the bottom of Group E with one point from three matches. Basel leads the group, which includes also Fulham and AS Roma.
