Dynamo Kyiv midfielder Jerson Rodriguez, who is now on loan for Chinese Guangxi Haliao, got into another scandal.
Jerson RodriguezThe 29-year-old footballer was called up to the Luxembourg national team for the September Nations League matches and played on September 5 against Northern Ireland (0:2). However, after that Rodriguez was dismissed from the national team and left its location before the match with Belarus (0:1), which took place last Sunday. After this meeting, Luxembourg head coach Luc Holtz expectedly had to explain the situation to journalists.
"I don't want to hide the fact that I'm worried about Gerson's fitness. If he wants to continue playing at professional level, he needs to do something about it. But this is not the reason for his expulsion - we are talking about a disciplinary measure. And the reasons for that sanction will remain within the team. It's a kind of message for Jerson, a reason to think about it. And I think it will be good for him.
When will he return to the national team? It's too early to say. But Gerson is our most important striker in recent years. What he gave to the Luxembourg national team in the past is something we are sorely lacking today," l`essentiel quoted Holz as saying.
