Yeah, and I'm not sure it's entirely his fault. It's quite weird that he's been half-frozen out - neither dismissed from the squad (like Dahoud) or used in games. There seems to be no issue with his attitude in training or as part of the squad from what has been said either.He doesn’t come on when we are winning, he doesn’t come on when we are losing. I’m disappointed tbh.
You'd have to assume that there is some kind of agreement in place currently where he is being protected to avoid recurrence of the injury ahead of his return to Barca (where they'll presumably sell him). If he was playing, I'd have held a candle for another year on loan. That he's not, and that it's been in favour of Albion owned youth players, I think that is entirely unlikely. A shame really.
