Father and brother confront Wigan boss Maloney after Arsenal loanee Azeez snubbed

The father of Arsenal midfielder Migel Azeez has clashed with Wigan Athletic boss Shaun Maloney.

The Latics were relegated from League One on Saturday after their draw against Reading, with Gunners loanee Azeez left out of the squad. Brother Femi turned out for Reading on the day.

And the Daily Record reports Maloney was approached at the final whistle by Femi and his father regarding Miguel's game time this season. The trio reportedly had a major row in the centre circle regarding Miguel's lack of opportunities.

Speaking ahead of the match, the pair's Dad said: "Miguel hasn't really had an easy time there [Wigan]. He started with Kolo Toure and the new manager came in and hasn't really trusted him, which has been disappointing."
