Not yet.Actually he was suspended by the federation because untill his end of his contract he didn't presented at the squad reunion.Also the club tries to find him another club.This player has talent but he is not training properly and having problems with the former interim coach.Anyway he was relegated at the second team.

Cool, the kit reminds me of Barca any connection or pure coincidence?

Steaua gets bomb threat in Budapest, players guarded by special forces.
Steaua's delegation was evacuated from Sofitel Hotel in Budapest on Wednesday night going into Thursday after the Hungarian police received an anonymous call saying there was a bomb in the building, Gazeta Sporturilor reports. Steaua officials are convinced that the entire story is part of an intimidation plan ahead of the match and are determined to ask for its postponement.

Around 2 a.m., two Hungarian police officers showed up at the hotel where Steaua's delegation was staying and announced that they had received an anonymous bomb threat. All players were woken up and the police began checking all rooms with a trained dog. For hours, all the areas of the hotel were checked.

The Romanian consul in Budapest arrived at the hotel to inquire about the players' situation at about 3:30 a.m.

Half an hour later, at about 4 a.m., several Ujpest supporters started showing up near the hotel and they were following cars with Romanian license plates. They wrote several insults against Steaua in Romanian on the pavement, right next to the Gazeta Sporturilor vehicle.

At around 4:30, Steaua officials talked about the situation to the match monitor, who informed UEFA. Today, the events will be analyzed by the European forum, which will decide if the match will be postponed or not.

At 5 a.m., after three hours of searches in which no explosive device was found, the police agreed it had been a bogus bomb threat and allowed the players and all the other customers to go back into the hotel.

It is worth mentioning that the same hotel also accommodates the Renault team staff, which will take part in the Hungaroring Formula 1 race on Sunday.
