Algeria international Sofiane Feghouli has been suspended by his Spanish club Valencia amid reports he refused to take part in a warm-down after Sunday's 2:1 win over Sevilla.

"Valencia have opened a disciplinary procedure involving player Sofiane Feghouli," the club said on Monday.

"The player will be suspended as a cautionary measure."

The 26-year-old, who was used as a second-half substitute on Sunday, also reportedly missed training last week.
