Mighty Wanderers have decided to dock players and technical staff the equivalent of one week's bonuses after a 2-1 defeat to Blue Eagles. The punishment raises questions about pressure and its legality in Malawian football, according to Nyasa Times.

Mighty Wanderers, the defending champions of Malawi's FDH Bank Premiership, have decided to dock players and technical staff one week's benefits after their 2-1 defeat to Blue Eagles.

The club are enduring a run of four consecutive defeats in all competitions, including elimination from the CAF Champions League by Tanzania's Simba Sports Club on a 7-1 aggregate score and a defeat to Ekhaya Football Club.
