Bundesliga side Werder Bremen has suspended young winger Melvyn Lorezen one match for the heinous crime of eating a baguette.

The London-born 20-year-old was caught consuming the French staple while boarding the team bus prior to last Saturday's Under-23 tilt at Thuringen. Bremen gaffer Alexander Nouri clearly doesn't value nourishment, as he noticed Lorezen chomping down and asked the youngster not to travel with the team.

Asked to explain his decision, club general manager Thomas Eichin said the club "puts great importance in the type of nutrition our players receive."

Despite the infraction, Lorenzen was permitted to return to training the following Monday and is fit to play in the club's next fixture.

Hopefully now Lorenzen understands better how his bread is buttered.
