In May 2014 Özbiliz suffered an anterior cruciate ligament injury , which caused him to have two surgeries . In April 2015 Murat Yakin , then head coach of Spartak , transferred Aras to the reserve team for not being fully fit from the injury , although the player claimed to be 100 % fit to play . Later Özbiliz suggested this treatment may be a case of anti-Armenian sentiment by Yakin , ethnic Turk . According to Aras , he 's learned of being relegated to the reserve team on the centenary of the Armenian Genocide
