contents Let $R>1$ and let $B$ be the Euclidean $4$-ball of radius $R$ with a closed subset ${E}$ removed. Suppose that $B$ embeds symplectically into the unit cylinder $\mathbb{D}^2 \times \mathbb{R}^2$. By Gromov's non-squeezing theorem, ${E}$ must be non-empty. We prove that the Minkowski dimension of ${E}$ is at least $2$, and we exhibit an explicit example showing that this result is optimal at least for $R \leq \sqrt{2}$. In an appendix by Joé Brendel, it is shown that the lower bound is optimal for $R < \sqrt{3}$. We also discuss the minimum volume of ${E}$ in the case that the symplectic embedding extends, with bounded Lipschitz constant, to the entire ball.
