MUNICH, Germany: Bayern Munich suspended defender Martin Demichelis on Friday for refusing a move to defensive midfield.
The Argentine international balked at playing the position in the Bundesliga frontrunner's contest against Energie Cottbus on Saturday.
"A player can't state his wishes," Hitzfeld said. "Until further notice he is suspended."
Hitzfeld also levied a one-game suspension on Oliver Kahn in December, after the goalkeeper publicly criticized the play of teammates Luca Toni and Franck Ribery when Bayern was mired in a slump.
