Everton winger Kevin Mirallas has taken to his official Instagram account to try and clarify what happened in the training ground incident he was involved in on Saturday, and Toffees fans have been having their say on his comments.
I have to restore the truth after some articles in the medias. I was not excluded of the squad due to a lack of commitment during training this was a manager Decision And I was frustrated as I am fully committed in Everton since arriving in 2012 and I can’t accept our actual ranking....I apologize to the president and owner, my team mates and the manager for not being able to cope at that moment with my frustration. A post shared by Kevin Mirallas (@kmirallas11) on
Sky Sports reported on Monday that Mirallas and teammate Morgan Schneiderlin had been banished from training by caretaker boss David Unsworth after Duncan Ferguson was unimpressed with the duo's attitude, and they were subsequently both left out of the squad for the 3-2 win against Watford at Goodison Park on Sunday.
The Belgium international has chosen to clear up the reports by suggesting that he was sent away but not because he had shown a lack of commitment.
Everton supporters were quick to have their say on the 30-year-old's post via social media, and while one said "at least he apologised", another said it is "too little, too late".
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction...
