A footballer was marched off a plane in handcuffs by police after allegedly making a bomb threat ahead of his team\u2019s flight to get to a game.<\/p>\n

Argentine second-division side Gimnasia y Esgrima de Jujuy said last night it was considering sacking Emiliano Endrizzi after the bizarre incident.<\/p>\n

The team and other passengers needed to evacuate the aircraft so explosives officers could board to comb it.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old defender allegedly shouted \u2018Bomb\u2019 because the plane was about to depart the Argentinian city of San Salvador de Jujuy yesterday afternoon for Buenos Aires, where they play home side Agropecuario later today.<\/p>\n

A passenger claimed: \u2018He said they were all going to blow up.\u2019<\/p>\n

Airline Flybondi said within the aftermath of the incident: \u2018A passenger on board flight FO5181, as a consequence of take off from Gobernador Horacio Guzman International Airport at 1.25pm, made a bomb threat.<\/p>\n
