Mainz have confirmed Anwar El Ghazi's contract has been terminated over the Dutch winger's social media posts on the conflict between Israel and Palestine.
The former Aston Villa and PSV star was recently suspended from training and match days at the German club after he made a pro-Palestine post on social media - which he swiftly deleted.
Mainz announced earlier this week that it had lifted El Ghazi's suspension after holding an 'in-depth conversation' with the player.
'Given his commitment to upholding the club's values and the remorse shown, and in keeping with the club's culture of using mistakes as an opportunity to learn, Anwar el Ghazi will return to training and matchday-related activities with FSV Mainz 05 soon,' a club statement read.
