Galatasaray defender Serdar Aziz was pictured on holiday in the Maldives a day after he missed his side's final game of 2018 with what he claimed was an upset stomach.
The Turkey international's wife shared an image on her Instagram stories page from the tropical island which featured her husband, who was ruled out of Galatasaray's 4-2 win over Sivasspor.
Aziz's trip to the Maldives sparked outrage among Galatasaray fans, who were disappointed to see the defender miss an important league game through injury but well enough to go on holiday.
Do you guys wanna hear a crazy story?
