Photos: Check Out The Cryptic Message Arsenal Former Player Mesut Ozil Posted After Being Excluded From Fenerbahce’s Squad
Mesut Ozil, a former Arsenal midfielder, has replied to his indefinite exclusion from Fenerbahce’s roster with a cryptic tweet.
On Thursday, March 24, a similarly enigmatic post on the Turkish giants’ official Twitter account stated that the ex-Real Madrid player, along with Ozan Tufan, who was on loan at Watford last season, had been left out of interim manager Ismail Kartal’s roster.
Ozil was benched following reports of a verbal disagreement with the club’s interim manager and a lack of fitness in their previous match.
However, following the news, Ozil has broken his quiet, tweeting a photo of the Turkish flag and the club on Twitter with the caption: ‘The main thing is Fenerbahce.’

Ozil was benched following reports of a verbal disagreement with the club’s interim manager and a lack of fitness in their previous match.
‘As a result of the decision, our Football A Team players Mesut Ozil and Ozan Tufan were left out of the squad. It has been made public,’ according to a statement.
The club stated that the cause for the decision will be revealed in due time, but Ozil was substituted at halftime in Fenerbahce’s 2-1 win over Konyaspor over the weekend.
Since signing from Arsenal in January last year, the 33-year-old former Germany international has made 37 appearances for the Turkish giants.
But football. In their win over the second-placed team, London allege the attacking midfielder got into a verbal spat with Kartal.
According to the article, Ozil’s public removal from the squad precludes him from exercising with the first team ahead of their away match against Kayserispor this weekend.
Due to a lower back injury, the 92-cap ex-Germany midfielder missed eight Fenerbahce games at the start of this season.
According to Milliyet via Aksam, the club is concerned that Ozil’s injury has set him behind physically, and he was replaced after playing at a ‘poor tempo’ in the first half.
According to the article, Kartal’s personnel evaluated Ozil’s condition and determined that continuing to play in the remaining weeks of the season would be extremely tough for all sides.
