Freiburg’s decision to sack Yacine Abdessadki for allegedly stealing shampoo from a hotel was “unjustified”, according to his representatives.

The French midfielder had his contract with the relegation-threatened Bundesliga club terminated after allegedly stealing four bottles of shampoo and damaging a dispenser in a Koln hotel room on December 10.

“The release is unjustified,” the player’s management told Bild.

“Abdessadki deplores Freiburg’s actions and remains ready to serve the team in order to halt their decline.”

According to Abdessadki’s attorney, Dr Werner Schurig, the player simply wanted to take a shower, but found that the shampoo dispenser in his room was empty.

Consequently, he then went to the next room (that of Heiko Butscher and Jonathan Schmid) and got some from the dispenser there before (Garra) Dembele, the room-mate of Abdessadki, went to the lobby to ask for a couple bottles of shampoo.

Freiburg are claiming, though, that they were charged by the hotel for not replacing the shampoo dispensers, which were allegedly broken, and sporting director Dirk Dufner insists that the club had every right cancel Abdessadki’s contract.

“Things happened which we can’t let go with a professional player, who is supposed to function as a role model,” Dufner said. “SC Freiburg will not tolerate such behaviour.”

Freiburg also announced they were releasing Butscher, Felix Bastians, Maximilian Nicu and Kisho Yano, but that this was for “purely sporting reasons”.
