Philip Billing faces an uncomfortable chat with Bournemouth manager Jason Tindall after a social media outburst in which he suggested he wasn’t injured.
The Danish midfielder - signed for £15million on a five-year deal from Huddersfield in the summer of 2019 - was not included in the squad for Tuesday’s defeat at Derby.
But in the build-up to the game, a since-deleted comment from Billing’s Instagram account to one of the club’s fans’ sites read: ‘Didn’t know I was injured.’
In response, Tindall said he was confused because the 24-year-old had failed to complete Monday’s pre-match training session.
