Ghanaian teenager Felix Afena Gyan has been demoted to AS Roma's Primavera (U19 team) after being spotted at a nightclub on the night when he missed the Serie A game against Spezia due to a hip injury.

His decision to go out with friends including Primavera mates to the nightclub angered head coach Jose Mourinho and the rest of the technical team after the player returned to the Giallorossi camp after dawn.

The player will now train with Roma's Primavera as it remains unclear when he would be called back to the first team.

Afena Gyan since being promoted from Roma's Primavera has made 14 senior appearances and scored two goals.
