Bordeaux have called winger Malcom to a disciplinary hearing, after he was seen laughing and joking in a video following defeat to Caen.
Bordeaux are struggling in Ligue 1 and lost their latest home match 2-0 to Caen. The result leaves them just four points ahead of the relegation zone, which is a precarious situation for a club of their size.
With the situation as it is, the last thing a player should do is be caught on camera having a good time after the game. That’s exactly what happened to Malcom, and Bordeaux are not happy.
They’ve since called him to a disciplinary hearing.

It’s one thing to not let a defeat get you down, but this should be in private where thousands of angry fans can’t see you. It could be a sign that the 20-year-old still has a lot of growing up to do.
Malcom is a target for Arsenal this month, but any move is dependent on Alexis Sanchez leaving the club first. Reports from Brazil are optimistic about the deal, but reports from France state the opposite.
Malcom is Bordeaux’s top scorer this season with seven goals.
