Mark Steven, the head coach of the Wildcats, addressed swirling rumors about the alleged dismissal of a star player from the team due to disciplinary issues. The speculation began after the player was absent from a key practice session, leading to widespread chatter among fans and media.
In a press conference held on Monday, Steven firmly denied the rumors. “I want to set the record straight,” he began, his tone resolute. “There have been reports that we’ve removed a player from the team due to disciplinary reasons. I want to be clear—those reports are false.”
Steven explained that the player’s absence from practice was due to a minor injury, not a disciplinary issue. “He’s dealing with a slight hamstring strain,” Steven clarified. “We decided to give him some rest to ensure he’s fully recovered for the upcoming game. There’s no truth to any of the other stories you’ve been hearing.”
When pressed further about the team’s disciplinary policies, Steven emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards but reiterated that no one had been removed from the team. “We hold our players to a high level of accountability, but in this case, the rumors are completely unfounded.”
The star player, who remained unnamed in the reports, is expected to return to practice later this week. “He’s in good spirits and looking forward to getting back on the field,” Steven added with a smile.
As the press conference concluded, Steven’s message was clear: the team is focused on their upcoming challenges, not on unfounded rumors.
