Young Boys manager Raphael Wicky intends to speak to captain Mohamed Ali Camara after he asked Erling Haaland to swap shirts at half-time of their 3-0 defeat to Manchester City.
Camara approached Haaland as they walked off the pitch at the break at the Etihad - with City already 2-0 up thanks to the Norwegian's penalty and a fine goal from Phil Foden - and Haaland handed over his shirt just before they reached the tunnel, although he was shaking his head and seemed irritated at the request.
The decision to ask for Haaland's shirt attracted criticism at the time from pundits and while Wicky was unaware of the incident, he didn't sound impressed and said he intended to quiz Camara as to why he had done it.

"I didn't see that, that's news to me. I'm a little bit surprised about that right now," he said. "On the other hand I don't think it has anything to do with the game, but I'll have a word with him. Maybe Erling asked him.
"At the end of the day I don’t think this has anything to do with the performance but I will have a word with the player."
Guardiola was also unaware of the incident but had no concerns about Haaland's decision to hand the shirt over, with the striker adding a second goal after the break with a new shirt on his back.
Guardiola said he wasn't bothered about the incident and that it wasn't "a big subject for me."
