Anwar El Ghazi has taken to social media to clarify his stance on the on-going conflict in the Middle East between Israel and Palestine.

The former Aston Villa and PSV star was recently suspended from training and matchdays at German club Mainz - where he signed as a free agent at the start of the season.

He had made a pro-Palestine post on social media, which - although swiftly deleted - the Bundesliga side felt did not align with their values as a club.

There had been speculation that the player was set for a termination of his contract, but he is now set to return to the club after serving his punishment, and undergoing 'multiple conversations with the club'.
