Kennedy Amutenya and Onkabetse Makgantai will appear before the Gaborone United's (GU) Disciplinary Committee today following recent alleged transgressions.

The Reds slapped the two with an indefinite suspension on October 10 for separate disciplinary matters. The club did not reveal reasons for the suspensions but MmegiSport was informed that Amutenya was involved in a fight in training.

So the disciplinary process continues on Friday," he said. As the two players endure time away from the field, Amutenya this week dropped a hint that he could leave the club. The defender posted a message on his Facebook page suggesting he could be on his way out. "Every good thing comes to an end,"
