Bayern Munich midfielder Arturo Vidal has returned to his club after abruptly ending his international duty with Chile.
According to ESPN, the South American star reportedly left the Chilean camp due to ‘personal problems’ and has flown back to Germany.
Upon his departure, Vidal slammed the media and insisted that he had not been ejected from the camp for disciplinary reasons.
La Roja are set to contest an international friendly with rivals Paraguay on Saturday, but will now have to do so without their talismanic midfielder.
