Wydad Casablanca head coach Rulani Mokwena reportedly punished a former Mamelodi Sundowns star ahead of their clash on Saturday.
Abdelrahim Boutouil reportedly angered his former Brazilians coach earlier this week with a post on social media.
The Moroccan defender apparently took the posts down and apologised to Mokwena already, as he looks to get into the team.

However, Boutouil was left out of the matchday squad for Saturday's clash against HUSA in the Botola Pro 1.
According to LeSiteSportInfo, the defender's exclusion was down to the post made on Instagram earlier this week.
The 26-year-old joined Wydad on a free transfer after his Sundowns departure, but he is yet to make his debut for the first team.
The report adds that after making his apology, Boutouil could be in line for his first appearance in the Excellence Championship.
