Radja on Instagram wrote:

“Very reluctantly my international career comes to an end,

“I’ve always done everthing, I could to represent my country.

“Being yourself can be bothering. From this day on I will be the first fan.”

Martinez resonded by saying:

“First and foremost, we all know Radja is a top player, there is no question about that.”

“It is a tactical reason,  we all know he has a very important role at club level and I don’t think we can give him that in the national team.

“I travelled to see him yesterday in Rome and we had a very good conversation. The decision is not an easy one, I understand how popular the player is, but we have to create the team to try to become a winning team.

“It is purely a tactical decision.”
