Newcastle United management are upset with Blackpool failing to play Elias Sorensen.

Sorensen wasn't even named as a substitute for Pool's 2-2 draw with Southend United at Bloomfield Road.

Frustratingly, United had sent a representative to check Sorensen's progress this weekend but there has been no communication on why the young Dane has been left out of the Blackpool squad FIVE times since agreeing a move that was meant to help develop the striker's career.

Toon boss Rafa Benitez said on Friday: "I'm not happy with the fact that he was not playing games, but at the same time I don't know what was going on when we did the deal.

"It's something difficult for me.

"Ben (Dawson) dealt with them (Blackpool) and I thought it was more clear for the lad."
