This feels a like a version of the truth, if not necessarily the whole truth...

"The manager pulled me and asked if I was okay. I told him I was ready to play. I had 10 days of solid training and the manager left me out of the squad after having that conversation. I went to see him a day before the game, and that was a bad idea, but I asked him why I wasn’t in the squad. He didn’t want to speak to me. They drew 0-0 at home to Brighton. Then I got a text from the assistant manager saying ‘you’re in the 23s now for the next couple of weeks because your fitness isn’t right yet and you have personal issues going on’. I was like, what?! We had spoken about this. I was bemused and that was backed up by the sporting director. It was the downfall of my time at Norwich. I spent two to three months in the 23s setup. After what I have achieved at Norwich, it was barbaric. I felt like I had all my respect, honour and achievements stripped away from me. I was labelled as a bad egg. It was crazy. I wasn’t allowed in the first team dressing room and wasn’t allowed in at the same time as the first team. I hadn’t done anything."
