West Bromwich Albion boss Alan Irvine insists Brown Ideye can work his way back into the starting XI.
The striker was left out of the squad for the 1-0 win at Leicester on Saturday and has so far struggled for form and fitness.
Irvine said: "The way that we do it is I say to any player 'If you want to come in on Monday, come in on Monday'.
"But when the team's named and the subs are named they have to accept that, respect the rest of the players and then come back in later if they want to have a chat.
"I might have a chat with him if he feels he needs to have a chat, but if he doesn't then I won't be calling him in."
