Former Arsenal striker Lukas Podolski has taken a dig at Jose Mourinho for his treatment of ex-German international Bastian Schweinsteiger.
The Galatasaray forward feels that it is not okay to drop a player like Bastian to reserves and should give chances for the German as he is a man who could make a difference.
‘When you look at the career Bastian has had, I can only say that what is happening there is simply not right for a player of his stature,’ Podolski told Bild.
‘I do not know what Mourinho has discussed with Bastian. But is clear that it is not okay to drop someone like Basti to the reserves.
‘A coach should always keep his door open to all players, and especially to players like Schweini.’
