Former Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil was suspended by Fenerbahce on Thursday morning for reportedly having a verbal altercation with interim manager Ismail Kartal.
The alleged incident happened during Fenerbahce's 2-1 home victory against second-place Konyaspor on Sunday. Ozil, 33, was hauled off at half-time by Kartal and it's unclear what was said between the two. Fenerbahce are currently third in the table.
"Our 'Football A Team' players Mesut Ozil and Ozan Tufan have been excluded from the squad as per the decision taken," read a statement from the Turkish outfit, published on social media. "It is announced to the public."
