Club Brugge striker Emmanuel Dennis will miss his side's Champions League clash with Borussia Dortmund on Tuesday after reportedly storming off because he couldn't sit in his favourite seat on the team bus.

Belgian outlet Het Laatste Nieuws reports the Nigerian left the team bus on Monday just prior to it departing for Germany.

The outlet reports that Dennis did so because — due to distancing rules around COVID-19 put in place by the team — he wasn't allowed to sit in the seat he usually chooses on the team's bus.

Brugge manager Philippe Clement said Dennis will miss the fixture for "disciplinary reasons." He is also expected to be fined by the club for his behaviour.

The 23-year-old scored twice for Brugges in a 2-2 draw with Real Madrid in the group stages of last season's Champions League, while also found the net in a 2-1 win over Zenit St Petersburg on match day one of this season's competition.
