Port Adelaide midfielder Sam Powell-Pepper has received a one-game sanction imposed by the club’s leadership group for breaking team rules last weekend.



It has been established that Powell-Pepper was intoxicated and broke the playing group’s time curfew on Sunday morning.



The sanction means Powell-Pepper will miss Port Adelaide’s Round 4 clash with Essendon this Sunday at Etihad Stadium.



The AFL is continuing its investigations into an alleged incident involving Powell-Pepper in an Adelaide bar last Sunday morning.



These investigations are ongoing and the club will be making no further comment until they are completed.
