Angry Bolton Wanderers boss Gary Megson has slammed Atletico Madrid over a potential security breach ahead of his side's UEFA Cup return in the Spanish capital on Thursday night.
Bolton officials were stunned to find their entire trip itinerary - including
their flight number and arrival time, plus the name of their hotel and training
schedule - pasted on Atletico's official website.
The British Embassy in Madrid are looking into the incident with the visitors
- who will defend a 1-0 lead following their famous win at the Reebok Stadium
last week - fearing their programme could be deliberately disrupted.
Megson said: 'This is very strange behaviour for a club of Atletico's size
and status. It obviously raises serious security concerns regarding Bolton
Wanderers players and staff ahead of this game.'
The incident has hardly eased tensions ahead of what is set to be another
stormy encounter.
Sergio Aguero was dismissed in the first leg for spitting and striker Mista
appeared fortunate to avoid punishment for the same offence.
