One of our most important players goes completely off the radar and the club need to make a short statement imo.

If rumours are correct that he's in Australia and unlikely to play for us again this season the fans are entitled to hear something.

There's several reasons why that could be the case but the club could address the matter without going into detail. Without a statement fans are going to start speculating.

If it's compassionate leave for a close relative in end of life care all it needs is a statement that it's a family matter and we respect privacy. If it's an injury, tell us.

Etc etc, but if just say he was in dispute with club and has gone awol that makes it a bit more tricky. A bid turned down maybe?

The communication from the club has been dreadful at times in recent years leaving us guessing about injuries, Butcher's absence, and the like. It's time the Club said something about Aziz. It may be quite innocent but silence doesn't help at all.
