Bayern Munich dropped World Cup winner Corentin Tolisso on Saturday and hit the France midfielder with an undisclosed "heavy" fine for breaking their hygiene rules during the coronavirus pandemic by getting a tattoo.
"Corentin Tolisso has violated our guidelines... which is very annoying and cannot be tolerated," Bayern chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge fumed in a statement on Saturday.
"We are very grateful that the Bundesliga games can currently take place despite the prevailing coronavirus situation."
The 26-year-old central midfielder, who won the 2018 World Cup with France, was dropped for Saturday's home league game against Hoffenheim.
