Atletico suspends duo

Soccer Betting Lines

04/29/2009 - Madrid, Spain (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Atletico Madrid have axed both Maniche and Giourkas Seitaridis from the first-team squad after the pair failed to attend last weekend's clash with Sporting Gijon.

Greece defender Seitaridis and Portugal midfielder Maniche have been largely out of favor in recent months at the Vicente Calderon, but were still expected to be in attendance on Sunday.

A club statement confirmed: "The club have temporarily separated Maniche and Giourkas Seitaridis from the first-team squad.

"The sporting department has taken this decision after neither were present at the Atletico-Sporting match, something that all players are obliged to do, even if not called up."

Seitaridis has made just two league starts since the turn of the year, while Maniche has only started twice as well in La Liga in the same period.
