SAINTS boss Ivan Juric confirmed there is an issue with Flynn Downes and explained: "What is important, is to put on the T-shirt, go to the training and train hard."

The midfielder was again left out of Southampton's squad during their 1-0 FA Cup defeat to Championship Burnley on Saturday.

Downes was not a part of the squad that beat Ipswich Town 2-1 last weekend and was the subject of a late bid from the Tractor Boys.

Juric confessed he has been displeased with Downes' reaction following a blocked move but insisted that everything is "resolvable".

"We had very good behaviour of lots of players that have offers, I can say that Jan Bednarek had the biggest offers from one big club, and he stayed training.

"(He stayed) playing the games, and then the club decided not to sell him, and sometimes the players don't behave very good.

"Now we have to think about how to resolve the problem, but I have to say I was a little bit disappointed.

"It's not unusual. They do not do things correctly like you have to do. What is important, is to put on the T-shirt, go to the training and train hard.

"Then you can disagree with the coach, or with the club, or with everybody, what is important is training hard, playing hard, and then everything is resolvable."
