Wolfsburg midfielder Kevin De Bruyne has been handed a £15k fine for a foul mouthed outburst on a ball boy during the 1-1 draw with Eintracht Frankfurt.
The former Chelsea man has been in superb form for Bundesliga side Wolfsburg this season, helping them sit behind Bayern Munich in second place, but after demanding the ball back during the draw with Frankfurt, the Belgian international launched an aggressive outburst on the young ball boy.
The incident came just moments before De Bruyne scored the equalising goal and has now been fully investigated by the German football association.
“The sports court of the DFB has fined Kevin De Bruyne 20,000 euros for unsporting behaviour in the form of extreme sports misconduct,” a statement said.
De Bruyne, who has scored six goals in his last five games, has apologised to the ballboy publicly.
