Radja Nainggolan has been suspended by Inter Milan for unknown reasons

But he has struggled for Inter, who sit third in the table – 16 points behind leaders Juventus.

His club revealed: “Inter can confirm that Radja Nainggolan has been temporarily suspended from football activity for disciplinary reasons.”

On Thursday, it was reported that Nainggolan had around £134,000 stolen from him by a gang using false cheques.

Later claims suggested the playmaker had lost a huge sum in a casino.
