Sardar Azmoun has been reportedly excluded from Bayer Leverkusen’s squad.

Having returned from his loan to Roma, in fact, the Iranian striker’s new adventure in Leverkusen did not start in the best of ways.

According to Bild, the former Giallorossi player missed a training session, justifying his absence only after the end of the session.

This angered Xabi Alonso, who immediately decided to take him out of the squad. In the next few days, therefore, Azmoun will train individually.

“We need to clarify what happened,” Bayer sporting director Simon Rolfes told Bild.

“You have to do more than just your initial pre-season tests, you have to train. He was here yesterday, today he wasn’t—so we’ll see what happens in the coming days.
