Ajax's Egyptian striker Mido has once again been banished from the first team squad after yet another disagreement with trainer Ronald Koeman and technical director Leo Beenhakker. Ajax have informed Mido that he will now have have to train and play for Ajax's reserve squad for the rest of the season. 
Ronald Koeman has gave heed to the request of Ajax's players, who have unanimously stood behind Egyptian striker 'Mido' and reinstated the enfant terrible back into the squad for Ajax's home match against Arsenal last Wednesday. After the match Mido spoke to Dutch and foreign media stating that he had no idea why he had been banished but suggested the reason could be that Ronald Koeman has a disliking to him.
