Kevin De Bruyne fined £15,000 for unsporting behaviour

De Bruyne fined for swearing at ballboy

Wolfsburg winger Kevin De Bruyne has been hit with a £15,000 fine for "unsporting behaviour" after he swore at a ballboy during their match with Eintracht Frankfurt last week.

The in-form forward was picked up on a microphone swearing at the ballboy as he demanded that the boy threw the ball quickly to him so he could take a throw-in.

Wolfsburg, who sit second in the Bundesliga, were losing 1-0 at the time but De Bruyne scored a late leveller to secure a 1-1 draw.

The Belgian has since apologised to the boy.
