AS Roma manager Jose Mourinho has been angered by Felix-Afena-Gyan after the Ghanaian youngster reportedly went nightclubbing on Saturday in Italy.

A report by Football Italia says Mourinho was so upset by the 19-year-old antics that he decided to drop him from AS Roma's first team.

For his punishment, Mourinho has demoted Afena-Gyan to the Primavera team and he will now be training with Roma's junior team for the next few weeks.

Afena-Gyan was ruled out of Sunday’s Serie A match against Spezia due to a minor injury and returned to the team's boarding school Trigoria.

But he was later spotted at a night club on Saturday with two of his Primavera teammates, Benjamin Tahirovic and Jan Oliveras, infuriating Mouirnho and the technical staff of AS Roma.
