Florentin Pogba , the older brother of Manchester United star Paul , was attacked by angry Genclerbirligi team -mates after abruptly walking off the pitch on Sunday and leaving his side a man down , Turkish media reported .
Pogba was confronted in the changing room by several team -mates after the 1 – 0 league defeat at home to Antalyaspor , according to the Dogan news agency and Fanatik sports daily .

Security officers and club officials reportedly had to intervene to usher Pogba to safety .

The defender removed his shirt and stormed off the pitch in the 88 th minute with his team down a goal after an argument with a team – mate .

Genclerbirligi had already made their three substitutions , forcing the home side to finish the match with just 10 men .

The loss means Genclerbirligi are almost certain to be relegated from the Turkish top flight with five points between them and safety and just two matches of the season remaining .

Pogba , 27 , signed an 18 – month contract with the Ankara – based club in January after spending most of his career at Saint-Etienne.
