Town keeper Aro Muric is one of three players to have been expelled from the Kosovo squad for breaking team rules.

A statement from the FKK, the Kosovo FA, reads: “By joint decision of the manager Franco Foda and the Federation, three players, Arjanet Muric, Edon Zhegrova and Florent Muslija, have left the national team gathering due to breaking the regulations of the national team established by the manager and the Federation.

“The FFK executive committee will decide on further measures against the players in question. Meanwhile, the goalkeeper who was on the waiting list, Faton Maloku from FC Drita, will join the team.”

Muric, who joined the Blues from Burnley this summer, won his 39th full cap as Kosovo were beaten 3-0 by Romania in Pristina on Friday.

The 25-year-old was due to join his teammates to travel to Nicosia to face Cyprus on Monday.

blueboyd added 13:15 - Sep 8 A poor quality goalkeeper thus far for us, and it seems he is a bit of a bad egg too. Not gonna end well I don't think.

NeedhamChris added 13:20 - Sep 8 @blueboyd I agree - it will end well.

blues1 added 13:35 - Sep 8 Blueboyd talking bs. Makes 2 errors on his debut and it makes him poor quality. Walton must be awful then. Made 3 errors on his debut.

algarvefan added 13:53 - Sep 8 I will say this, how anyone on here can jump to conclusions when we don't know the facts is beyond belief. Have a nice weekend folks!

trncbluearmy added 13:56 - Sep 8 We know he's done something serious enough to get sent home.

LegendofthePhoenix added 14:03 - Sep 8 So far, on the pitch at least, Muric seems a downgrade on Vaz. Vaz was also a model professional. Muric needs to make sure he is 100% focussed on his football at Town.

VanDusen added 14:16 - Sep 8 @blueboyd - absolutely. The only one of the summer signings that has been distinctly underwhelming so far. Let's hope he's not this season's Williams...

PimsNumber1 added 14:27 - Sep 8 When we bought him I honestly thought he was going to be back up to a new number 1 ....he's just that average ...never worth 8m plus hladky effectively . We should have got the Irish guy from Liverpool...worth the extra for sure ..

SickParrot added 14:49 - Sep 8 We don't know the full facts yet but it doesn't look good. The Kosovan FA aren't going to send players home without good reason. Can't help wondering if we've made a mistake with him.

Fat_Boy_Tim added 15:02 - Sep 8 Way to get behind the team everyone. He’s going to be fine, he’s not going to be this year’s Williams he’s going to be this year’s Chambers or Skuse or Woolfy or whoever you have chosen to scapegoat for every goal we concede. He’s played 2 games, his debut was away at Man City and he was nervous and up against the best squad possibly ever assembled and against Fulham he was solid. Good keeper, not really bothered if he comes home and get some work done at Playford Road.

Nomore4 added 15:12 - Sep 8 The very fact that ITFC the club wanted him……is good enough for me.

Bluemike31 added 15:13 - Sep 8 He's a crap goalkeeper and a poor influence. Get rid of the prat now, no idea what McKenna was thinking on this one

JewellintheTown added 15:16 - Sep 8 Moaners coming out of the woodwork now everything not 100% success. Sad really. We all know absolutely nothing about what happened. Could be anything or nothing but a technicality of a minor rule break. Any more serious & police & charges would be made, so moaners get off his back & either support or keep quiet until something more firm is officially announced, if ever. Put your energy into supporting our players when speculation arises. The team have enough to deal with without negativity from their own.

PortmanTerrorist added 15:22 - Sep 8 2 certainties about keepers. They are all odd and they all make mistakes. I hope he comes good and will back him completely, though I was disappointed that McKenna did not treat him as he did Walton last year when Walton lost his place through injury and Hladky was allowed to keep the shirt. A rare inconsistency from McKenna though I appreciate Hladky had more than 1 game to prove himself.

chepstowblue added 15:40 - Sep 8 This forum does not encourage people to speak their minds, or the truth. With some feeling that any criticism is in some way going to affect the players involved or the person reading the other opinion. A microcosm of the nation and the wishy washy lettuce leaf population who get offended by everything. 'Sticks and stones' for Christ sake. Every week I hope that the very poorly treated Walton will regain his rightful place at No1. Muric has been worrying. A position that didn't need strengthening, or if it did, it needed to be filled by someone who was better than what we already had. Burnley fans thought him very poor.... my sentiments exactly. Those of you who are gonna burst into tears......vote me down. This signing will do us no favours.

trncbluearmy added 15:50 - Sep 8 You can bet your life that the Ipswich herchy will not be pushing this under the carpet Not all signings work out and there will be at least one failure when so many signings are made. Muric needs to improve on and of the pitch pretty quickly,I hope he does

tractorfromongar added 15:56 - Sep 8 Something's occured no doubt, but poor quality keeper or bad decision by McKenna? Murics just been nominated for the Premiership save of the month, so he can't be that bad. Were three games in and it's way too early to start saying he's no good

Pessimistic added 16:07 - Sep 8 I have always had doubts about Muric; sadly, what just occurred makes me even less convinced that we haven't got a dud. McKenna is all about team bonding and getting the right kind of players on board. We should have kept Hladky and none of this would have happened.

Pessimistic added 16:09 - Sep 8 He's no good.

Taricco_Fan added 16:16 - Sep 8 Muric is no stranger to getting the boot from the Kosovo camp for breaching rules. This doesn't paint a picture of a good character off the pitch and, I must say, I'm far from convinced by him on the pitch either.

victorysquad added 16:22 - Sep 8 Lets give the club a chance to establish the facts first before jumping to conclusions.

Suffolkboy added 16:24 - Sep 8 Shame an ITFC player has been expelled from the National squad ; we probably all feel the same there,because we take pride in our Club and its representatives . At this stage ,however, we simply don’t know exactly what’s transpired and it’s pure speculation , unfounded criticism, and negativity which spurs the ‘ naysayers’ ! MA and KM are exceptionally diligent about standards and discipline ,so I’m certain disappointment at least will also be their reaction .i feel also certain that the matter won’t go un observed ,but that discreet remedies will be effected . Come on , we all do make mistakes , cease the outright condemnation , stop suggestions of ITFC errors of judgement — do show faith and belief ! COYB
