Oliseh's future now hangs in the balance

Former Nigeria captain Sunday Oliseh said he has been instructed not to make any public comments about Vfl Bochum's decision to terminate his loan deal.

"I have been advised not to say anything about this issue at the moment," the midfielder told BBC Sport from his base in Germany on Wednesday.

"There are several issues that need to be resolved, which can only be done in private."

Oliseh had his loan deal with the German club terminated following an altercation with former team mate Vahid Hashemian following Saturday's 0-0 draw with Hansa Rostock.

Oliseh and the Iranian international apparently clashed at half-time and the argument resumed after the match.

Although Bochum has refused to give further details on why they decided to terminate the deal, another Nigerian player based in Germany said the dispute during the Rostock match was not an isolated incident.

"I spoke to one of the Bochum players and I was made to understand that relations between these two players had been poor and the incident during that game was indicative of the tension between the two players.

"I have known Sunday for a while and what happened was totally out of character," he said.
