American full back Sergiño Dest has left AFC Ajax’s winter training camp in Qatar amid political tensions between the U.S. and Iran.
Dest, 19, flew back to the Netherlands on Wednesday after telling his club he did not feel safe on the trip.
“Sergiño Dest has asked if he could leave Ajax’s training camp in Qatar,” the club said in a statement on its website. “He didn’t feel comfortable. Ajax understands his request and has responded to it.”
Dest will train with Ajax’s reserves and rejoin the team in Amsterdam in a few days.
