Ipswich Town star Arijanet Muric has spoken out after being sent home from his national team’s training camp for allegedly ‘breaking regulations’.
The 25-year-old left Burnley in the summer to join the newly-promoted Tractor Boys.
He was quickly installed as the first choice goalkeeper for Kieran McKenna‘s side and started their 5-1 defeat to Manchester City and 1-1 draw against Fulham.
He is also the first choice goalkeeper for his national team, Kosovo, and has collected 39 caps.
Muric started their 3-0 Nations League defeat to Romania on Friday, making a total of five saves.
But on Sunday, Kosovo announced that the goalkeeper and two of his team-mates were sent home for ‘breaking regulations’.
A Kosovan Football Federation statement read: “Arijanet Muic, 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.”
It was claimed that the trio had stayed out in a bar beyond the allotted time.
However, Muric says the claims are ‘not true’ and ‘not fair at all’, stating (via The Sun): “The decision for us was not fair at all, and the rumours that are circulating are not true at all.
“We went out to get food and not to party.”

The Switzerland-born goalkeeper will play no part in Kosovo’s Nations League fixture against Cyprus as a result of his dismissal from the national team’s training camp.
Upon his return to England and Portman Road, he will hope to help Ipswich register their first win back in the Premier League after the Tractor Boys failed to do so in their first three attempts.
Kieran McKenna’s side travel to the Amex Stadium to take on Brighton on September 14.
