Arijanet Muric, the Premier League goalkeeper, has finally spoken out after being sent home from Kosovo's national team due to "breaking regulations". Muric, who had joined Ipswich Town from Burnley earlier this summer, had recently played in his nation's 3-0 defeat against Romania in his hometown on Friday. However, things took a turn when the 25-year-old was axed from national team duty, along with his teammates Edon Zhegrova and Florent Muslija, just before their upcoming match against Cyrus on Monday.
According to local reports, the trio had been seen out late in the evening, visiting bars and nightclubs in the capital city of Pristina. The Kosovan Football Federation released a statement, stating that the players had broken regulations set by the manager and federation, and that further action would be taken against them. However, Muric has since denied the claims, stating that the decision was "not fair at all" and that the rumors were completely false.
In an interview with Kosovan outlet Klan Kosova, Muric expressed his disappointment with the situation. He also clarified that he was not sent home for staying out late, contrary to what had been speculated. His teammate Zhegrova also took to Instagram to refute the claims, calling them "untrue and fact-free news". He reassured his fans that he would soon speak on the field.
This was not the first time that Muric had been sent home from the Kosovan squad. In 2021, while on loan at Dutch club Willem II, he was sent away for "disciplinary reasons" after getting into an argument with a teammate. And in the previous year, he had caused quite a stir when he reportedly invited a woman to the national team's hotel, breaking the strict Covid-19 protocols in place at the time.
As for now, Muric is focused on getting back to his club, Ipswich Town, where he will likely be back in league action next weekend. His team will be searching for their first win away at Brighton, and Muric will be determined to put this recent incident behind him and help his team achieve victory. It remains to be seen what further measures the Kosovan Football Federation will take against the players, but for now, Muric will be looking to move on and continue his promising career as a goalkeeper.
