Ipswich Town goalkeeper Aro Muric is one of three players to have been sent home from the Kosovo squad for breaking team rules.
A statement from the Kosovo FA reads: “By joint decision of the manager Franco Foda and the Federation, three players, Arjanet Muric, Edon Zhegrova and Florent Muslija, have left the national team gathering due to breaking the regulations of the national team established by the manager and the Federation.
“The FFK executive committee will decide on further measures against the players in question. Meanwhile, the goalkeeper who was on the waiting list, Faton Maloku from FC Drita, will join the team.”
According to reports, the FKK took the action after the trio stayed out too late in night clubs, not for the first time.
However, Muric disputes that version of events, telling Kosovan newspaper Klan Kosova: “The decision made against us was not fair at all and the rumours that are circulating are not true at all.”
Ipswich signed Muric for £8m from Burnley this summer. The 25-year-old won his 39th cap on Friday as Kosovo were beaten 3-0 by Romania in Pristina. He had been due to travel to Cyrpus for another game on Monday night.
