Ex-Man United Star Mason Greenwood Reinstated for EA Sports FC 24

ign.com:

EA Sports has reinstated Mason Greenwood for FC 24 after a two-game absence from the FIFA games.

Greenwood was pulled from FIFA 22 following his arrest on January 30, 2022, and was not included in last year’s FIFA 23. Charges against him, including attempted rape and assault, were dropped on February 2 this year. He denied all the alleged offences.

Following his loan move to Spanish side Getafe, Greenwood is now back in the game for FC 24. In a statement issued to IGN, EA confirmed Greenwood appears in FC 24 as part of the active roster of players at Getafe, but will not appear in the Ultimate Team mode at launch.

“EA Sports FC 24 authentically reflects the active rosters of teams and clubs in the real world of football,” the statement reads. “As he is now part of an active roster with Getafe CF, Mason Greenwood will be included in FC 24. As Greenwood was not part of an active roster at the time of our cut-off date for final team and player data, he will not appear in Ultimate Team at launch.”

Last month, Man United announced Greenwood would leave the club following an internal investigation. “All those involved, including Mason, recognise the difficulties with him recommencing his career at Manchester United,” the club said in a statement issued at the time.

“It has therefore been mutually agreed that it would be most appropriate for him to do so away from Old Trafford, and we will now work with Mason to achieve that outcome.

“Based on the evidence available to us, we have concluded that the material posted online did not provide a full picture and that Mason did not commit the offences in respect of which he was originally charged. That said, as Mason publicly acknowledges today, he has made mistakes which he is taking
