Berlin: Bosnia defender Emir Spahic was on Sunday sacked by his Bundesliga club Bayer Leverkusen with the centre-back currently under investigation by police on suspicion of assaulting a club steward.

Leverkusen, who are fourth in Germany's top-flight, confirmed they had taken the decision to terminate Spahic's contract, which was due to run until June 2016, by mutual consent.
