De Telegraaf are reporting that the 20-year-old has been suspended after an altercation with coach Frank de Boer, who was not happy with the way Kishna warmed up before coming into the Europa League tie with Dnipro on Thursday.
The suspension of the player seems to back the claims of Kishna’s agent Mino Raiola, who has claimed several times in the press that his client does not see eye to eye with De Boer and would be wise to seek a move elsewhere.
Speaking to NOS, Raiola said on the suspension of Kishna, “I have no idea”
“We have a suspicion that it has something to do with a warm-up. If so; ridiculous. He and (Daley) Sinkgraven warmed up similarly. Then two players should be suspended.
“I personally think it has more to do with a conversation in which there is something in the wrong way has been said.”
On how to resolve the issue, and rumours today of a move to PSV, Raiola added, “We must now look at how we are going to solve it. I agree with Marc Overmars (director of football.) Talk. There is certainly no club with which we are negotiating.”
Kishna, who’s contract at Ajax ends in 2016, has made 30 appearances for the club this season, scoring six times and adding ten assists.
