Sardar Azmoun's decision to skip Monday's training session with Bayer Leverkusen appears to have had consequences for the Iranian striker.

 

 

According to Sport Bild, Bayer Leverkusen coach Xabi Alonso has decided to suspend Azmoun from first-team training with immediate effect.

 

 

Much to Leverkusen's surprise, Azmoun didn't turn up for training on Monday. It wasn't until after the session that he explained that the reason for his absence was that he wasn't feeling well.

 

 

At the same time, he's in a physical condition that needs improvement, according to the report.

 

 

Azmoun spent last season on loan at Roma. Sevilla are said to be interested in signing him, but would apparently prefer a loan deal to a permanent one.

But shahin. Isn't he under contract with Bayer? Is he still on their payroll?

Azmoun was not going to be a starter for any of Europe's top league and those teams were not going to pay big money for someone who comes off the bench last 15-minutes of the game. There are plenty of 35+ year olds like that in Europe. This will be good for TM

Again. A lot will happen in the next 3 months.
