Jan Siewert Insists Jason Puncheon Has a Future at Huddersfield Town Despite Brighton Axe

Huddersfield Town manager Jan Siewert has stated that Crystal Palace loanee Jason Puncheon still has a future at the Terriers, despite being dropped for their game against Brighton at the weekend.

The 32-year-old midfielder is said to have been furious with the German manager's decision to substitute him in the 20th minute after Tommy Smith's red card in Huddersfield's 2-0 defeat against St. James' Park, reportedly leading to him being absent for the Terrier's loss against Brighton - a result which leaves Huddersfield 13 points from safety in the Premier League.

According to Examiner Live, Huddersfield Town's Siewert has refused to rule out a return to the squad for Puncheon, and has also denied to comment on rumours of a rift between himself and the player.
