Marco Grüll was preferred — longer time settled at the club.
Cause
Still inside the settling-in window after his recent move.
Outlook
Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.
Wants Copa Libertadores football
Serious
Cause
His South American heritage and ambition push him toward a Copa Libertadores side. (The move took him to a different continent.; He is openly ambitious.)
The disagreement started because they judged training effort very differently. It played out on the training ground in front of the rest of the squad.
Outlook
Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
Wants to head back home
Serious
Cause
After a long, difficult settling period he is openly hoping for a move home or to a familiar club. (The move took him to a different continent.; He still does not speak the local language.)
