Trezeguet leaves Bani Yas

Former French international David Trezeguet has left United Arab Emirates side Bani Yas after just two appearances citing a persistent thigh injury. The 1998 World Cup winner joined the UAE Pro League runners-up in August on a one-year deal after leaving Spanish club Hercules. However, a long-standing thigh problem hindered Trezeguet who was released from his contract. In quotes appearing on the Asian Confederation website, Bani Yas head coach Gabriel Calderon said: \"David is a good person and I have a lot of respect for him because he was a big player. \"But I let him go. I told him to go. David did not want to be here and I do not want unhappy players at the club. It was best for everyone that he has gone.\"
