Hayen to speak with Onyedika
Nicky Hayen has stated that he will talk to the Nigerian midfielder about his discipline during his post-match conference following their match against Milan.
According to Voetbalkrant, he said, "We have comforted him now. Tomorrow we will have a calm conversation about it. We are also a warm club in that respect, one that does not drop players.
"That's how we're going to look for solutions together, I don't want him to change his game, but these kinds of mistakes have to be eliminated. We have to become smarter about that. It's not always easy to learn that."
In the 36th minute, the Super Eagles midfielder made a risky foul on Rossoneri midfielder Tijjani Reijnders and it was reviewed by VAR before being sent off by Felix Zwayer
Despite being one of Club Brugge's top players, the 23-year-old's discipline has been his worst weakness; he has already been sent off twice this season in all competitions.
