German giants Bayern Munich issued a statement confirming that Noussair Mazraoui will not be sanctioned after supporting Palestine.

Mazraoui was the subject of criticism by multiple German news outlets recently after showing his solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza by sharing a post on social media.
The Moroccan was expected to suffer a similar fate as Mainz’s Anwar El-Ghazi and Youcef Atal of OGC Nice as the duo were suspended by their respective clubs.

However, he escaped punishment as Bayern confirmed they will not be taking any disciplinary action against the player. “FC Bayern Munich held a detailed and clarifying conversation with Noussair Mazraoui this week,” the club said in an official statement, adding: “The reason for the discussion was Mazraoui’s Instagram posts in connection with the terror against Israel almost two weeks ago, which led to irritation and criticism.”

The statement continued: “FC Bayern and Noussair Mazraoui strongly oppose the transfer of the Middle East conflict and its violence to Germany, which is committed to peace. Hate and violence of any kind have no place in the political culture of Germany. Noussair Mazraoui will remain in the FC Bayern squad but is out of action due to an injury he sustained.”
