Jese Rodriguez showed his anger at being overlooked by Mark Hughes by marching down the tunnel before full-time of Stoke’s win over Swansea.
The Spanish striker has not started a Premier League game since October 21 and reacted with frustration when Hughes sent on Ibrahim Afellay and Ramadan Sobhi in the 70th minute to use all his substitutes.
Jese, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, lost his place in the Stoke team after the 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth and has only played 32 minutes since.
On Saturday Jese is understood to have left the bench before the final whistle and driven away from the bet365 Stadium quickly afterwards.
