Mesut Ozil was the headline omission as eight players from Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur were included in the Professional Footballers’ Association Premier League Team of the Year.
Jamie Vardy is one of the four players picked from league leaders. Arsenal midfielder, Mesut Ozil, a PFA Player of the Year nominee, surprisingly missed out of the team.
The PFA intended to reveal the team at its annual awards ceremony on Sunday but had to change plans after it said the details were leaked.
It blamed a member of the public for choosing “to deliberately leak our representative teams from the official brochure of the awards evening.”
The players’ representative body added: “As a matter of urgency, we are seeking a detailed explanation from the brochure printers as to how they were able to secure a copy of the publication.”
League Top scorer Harry Kane is included in a season that has seen him notch 24 league goals so far for Tottenham, who lies five points behind Leicester with four games remaining.
As well as Vardy, Wes Morgan, N’Golo Kante and Riyad Mahrez are included from Leicester, while Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose and Dele Alli join Kane from Tottenham.
Manchester United goalkeeper, David de Gea, Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin and West Ham’s Dimitri Payet make up the rest of the team.
