According to the Safa spokesman, it was a wrong choice of word. Express Sport regrets any inconvenience caused to Safa on Rozaimi, if this was indeed the case.Rozaimi had on Tuesday confirmed he will no longer play for Sabah next season with news that his contract will not be renewed for the coming season.He said he respects the decision by Safa as he knew he had failed to live up to expectations due to his nagging injuries.
