QPR striker Charlie Austin admits he was hurt by West Ham co-chairman David Sullivan's comments about his fitness.
Sullivan ruled out a move for the 26-year-old during the transfer window as he said it was too much of a risk for the Hammers.
"I was disappointed, I felt hurt because I felt like it was an attack on myself," Austin told Soccer AM.
"But these things happen and I'll put it to the back of my mind."
Asked whether he thought Sullivan should have apologised, Austin said: "When do you ever hear of a football club chairman apologising directly to a player? I wasn't expecting an apology."
