Town boss Kieran McKenna says he’s spoken to Aro Muric regarding his expulsion from the Kosovo squad and accepts the keeper’s version of events.
On Sunday, the FKK, the Kosovan FA, announced that Muric, Edon Zhegrova and Florent Muslija had been dismissed from the squad ahead of Monday’s game against Cyprus in Nicosia for breaking rules they and manager Franco Foda had set.
It was reported that the trio had stayed out too late in a nightclubs, a claim Muric disputed, telling Kosovan newspaper Klan Kosova: "The decision made against us was not fair at all and the rumours that are circulating are not true at all.”
Asked about the situation, McKenna said: "I’ve had a conversation with him. Of course, it’s not my area really, or Ipswich Town’s area to clear it up.
"I’ve had a conversation with Aro, he’s given me his version, which I think, as he’s said, is a little bit different than some of the rumours that I think there were.
"I’ve got no problem with his version and he’s our player and we support him. It was good to have him back this week for the couple of days’ extra training and we’re looking to keep working on his integration into the team, and I’m sure he’s going to be an important player for us.”
