Mario Mandzukic has been dropped by Bayern Munich for the German Cup final. The 27-year-old Croat is wanted by Arsenal, Chelsea and Real Madrid but coach Pep Guardiola has dropped him, allegedly for disciplinary reasons.
Mandzukic has played a key role for the Bavarians this season, scoring 26 goals in all competitions but also clashed with Guardiola in January when he was excluded from the team.
"He was injured, but on the other hand he actually was able to play," Guardiola said cryptically.
"But I decided to take 18 players with me. And Mandzukic is not in the squad."
