Sydney FC goalkeeper Liam Reddy
has been sent home for drinking alcohol on a flight to New
Zealand for an A-League play-off match, the club said on
Thursday.
The club said Reddy had admitted the consumption of alcohol
on the flight to the New Zealand capital for the first round
play-off match against Wellington Phoenix.
The 30-year-old Reddy will also face charges under the
A-League's code of conduct, which makes it highly unlikely that
he will feature in the remainder of the play-offs.
Reddy lost his starting spot at Australia's glamour club
after being dropped in favour of team-mate Ivan Necevski last
month and would more than likely have been on the bench for
Friday's match.
