Club Brugge coach Nicky Hayen plans to hold talks with Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika following his second red card in four European games, which came during a 3-1 loss to AC Milan. Onyedika’s latest sending off occurred after a dangerous tackle on Tijjani Reijnders, resulting in a VAR review and subsequent dismissal. The midfielder was also sent off last season in a Europa Conference League clash with Fiorentina, highlighting his ongoing discipline challenges despite being one of Club Brugge’s key players.

Hayen, speaking post-match, expressed the club’s support for Onyedika but emphasized the need to eliminate these costly mistakes while ensuring the player’s aggressive style remains intact.
