Feyenoord have suspended Colin Kazim-Richards for two weeks after he threatened a journalist.
The 29-year-old, who previously played for Blackburn Rovers, confronted a reporter from Algemeen Dagblad when his attitude was questioned.
The striker was dropped from the side for Sunday's defeat to PSV Eindhoven, and will now spend the next two weeks on the sidelines.
A statement from the Dutch club read: "The club has applied this measure in response to the behaviour exhibited by the assailant on January 15.
"The suspension means that Kazim-Richards will not be at the club, will not train, and will not play in any games, until the end of the month."
Feyenoord will review the situation on February 1.
