Owusu Abeyie axed from Malaga first team over disciplinary problems

 

Ghana winger Qunicy Owusu Abeyie has been axed from the first team of Spanish side Malaga because of disciplinary problems and could return to Qatar.

The former Arsenal player has not trained for the past two days which has led to fears that he could be sacked from the club.

Malaga officials are now contemplating the action against the player, who is on loan from Qatari side Al Sadd.

His disruptive behaviour has angered coach Manuel Pellegrini which led to the decision to flog him to train with the junior side, according to a report in the Marca newspaper.

Abeyie’s problems at Malaga started last week when he started arriving late for training.

He was left out of the squad for last week’s game against Mallorca but his conduct did not improved which led to the decision to axe him from the first team.

The Ghanaian has refused to train with the junior side and has not been seen for two days.

Spanish radio stations say Malaga are likely to cancel his contract which will pave the way for him to return to Qatar where his huge salary can be paid.

The 25-year-old played for Ajax, Arsenal, Spartak Moscow, Celta Vigo, Birmingham, Cardiff, Portsmouth, Al Sadd and Malaga.

He was expected to bloom at Arsenal but disciplinary problems affected his progress.
