Bayern warn Breno over Twitter criticism

"This is a yellow card. I expect that nothing more will happen now," club CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told reporters a day after the Brazilian had reacted angrily on Twitter to being forced to play in the reserves at the weekend.

"Breno cannot accuse the coach or club of anything. The club has shown how it stands by its player. He confirmed the Twitter messages were indeed his but that there had been a misunderstanding. He apologised to the coach and the team."

The 22-year-old, who four months ago spent several days in prison before posting bail in an arson case involving his own house, had written: "I do not want to talk badly about the B team but I go to play a friendly.

"In this phase I am going through at Bayern they are messing with me."
