The points gap to safety, with matches running out, is the issue.

Minor
Cause
His condition and recent minutes made the session harder than usual, so staff treated it as fatigue rather than attitude.
Struggling to settle into the squad

The settling-in period at a new club is the bigger picture. The language gap is making integration harder.
Outlook
Settling-in period is still under way.
No natural role in the current formation

His preferred position simply isn't in the current shape.
Turned down the offered deal
Serious
