Allan Saint-Maximin’s Absence from Fenerbahce Squad Sparks Controversy

Allan Saint-Maximin, the former Newcastle United winger, has found himself at the center of a storm after being left out of Fenerbahce's squad for their Europa Conference League match against Rangers. The French forward, who joined Fenerbahce from Newcastle in the summer, was notably absent from the team sheet, prompting a wave of speculation and criticism.

Adding fuel to the fire, Jose Mourinho, currently managing Fenerbahce, made headlines with his blunt assessment of Saint-Maximin. The Portuguese coach labeled the winger as 'lazy and overweight,' a comment that has stirred significant controversy and debate among football fans and pundits alike. This harsh critique from Mourinho, known for his no-nonsense approach, has put Saint-Maximin's future at the club under scrutiny.

Amidst this backdrop, Rangers faced Fenerbahce in a crucial Europa Conference League fixture, with both teams dealing with injury concerns. The match, which saw Rangers and Fenerbahce battle it out, added another layer to the ongoing saga surrounding Saint-Maximin's exclusion and the subsequent fallout from Mourinho's remarks.
