MLS stated in a one-sentence news statement that the choice was made shortly after a playing agreement infraction was under investigation.
The 22-year-old Miami-born player was reportedly banned for life from the Quebec indoor amateur soccer league after hitting another player in the face, according to reports published last week in Canadian media.
The usual player contract prohibits participation in any league than the Major League Soccer. Hernan Losada, the manager of Montreal, said on Thursday that the squad was aware of the accusations.
“We were made aware of the situation, and there is an open investigation into this matter,” Losada said. “Matko will not be in training until everything is resolved. The people who need to make decisions will make them, but it’s not for me to give my opinion while we’re in the middle of an investigation.”
With Montreal, Miljevic made his MLS debut in 2021. He participated in 35 league games (eight starts), scoring two goals and dishing out two assists.
