MANCHESTER UNITED DEFENDER Guillermo Varela has been suspended by his loan club Eintracht Frankfurt after getting a tattoo against the club’s orders.
The 24-year-old full-back had been in line to play against Borussia Dortmund in the DFB-Pokal final on Saturday, but he has now been axed from the squad.
Frankfurt have suspended the on-loan defender due to what they described as “grossly negligent” behaviour after his tattoo forced him to receive treatment.
“Contrary to clear instructions from the coach Niko Kovac, Varela had a tattoo, which has now become inflamed,” the club said in a statement.
Sporting director Fredi Bobic said: “This behaviour is grossly negligent and hurts the entire team. “Guillermo’s path at Eintracht ends here. The club can’t put up with a player acting against the coach’s and doctors’ instructions.
“We were already considering extending his loan. But that is of course no longer an issue. “Guillermo will be suspended with immediate effect and he will be given a personal punishment.”
Varela has missed large spells of the 2016-17 season due to an ankle injury, but played in each of Frankfurt’s final four Bundesliga games.
His loan from United was due to run until 30 June, and the German club have now ended their interest in signing him on a permanent deal.

2012 second test Carter snatched the win with a drop goal in 79th minute , so it’s not accurate to say the less said the better about the 2012 tour .
Devin Toner played that day!
@Fred McHugh: so did Zebo
@Fred McHugh: Indeed, 3 years ago.
@Fred McHugh: so did Donnacha Ryan and had an epic performance
@Fred McHugh: so did Bealham and Dillane, while Marmion was also on the bench.
Made history? Ffs.
Zebo’s finest moment in green, that kick chase and Murray ambushing Savea into touch was the turning point when their comeback was looking inevitable.
Was at the Chicago game and the Lansdowne road game. I felt NZ came to Dublin determined to win at all costs. They took out Robbie Henshaw just like they took our BOD years ago. NZ can be great but also they can be ugly.
