Fenerbahce throws Mesut Özil and Ozan Tufan from the squad

It is a very scarce statement of the Istanbul traditional club, which also poses many questions in Turkish media. Özil and Ozan Tufan were "excluded by the squad by decision" - indefinitely. Reasons for this decision does not call the third of the snapers.

According to information of the "fanatics" it should be after the recent 2-1 victory in the pursuit duel against Konyaspor to a composition with coach Ismail Kartal, since January 13 on the executive chair at Fenerbahce. Özil, who had already been replaced for the break for the later winner's scorer Dimitris Pelka, and Ozan Tufan, only came to the post-EX-Darmstädter Serdar Dursun, should have the confrontation with Kartal wanted.

Last recently Fenerbahce had also rejected speculation that Özil did not want to play due to unpaid salaries. Corresponding messages would have "nothing to do with the truth", so the club. Özil's contract is still running until 2024.

The World Champion of 2014 came in the season 2021/22 so far in 26 competitive games for Fenerbahce to the train (nine goals, two templates), but his mixed achievements had always caused criticism. Ozan Tufan, last summer awarded to FC Watford, was brought back after the winter break, but has been disappointed since then.
