French giants Marseille have decided against pursuing a permanent deal for Arsenal loanee Nuno Tavares, who was kicked out of training by Igor Tudor last week.
Tavares, 22, endured a difficult maiden season in the Premier League after joining the Gunners from Benfica in an £7million deal last year and was given the green light to link up with Marseille on loan for the season in the summer transfer window.
The left-back, who was eager to play first-team football on a more regular basis, made a promising start to life in Ligue 1 - but things have started to unravel over the past week or so.
