Marcelino Núñez was preferred — his higher squad-status priority.
Cause
His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
Outlook
Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
Turned down the offered deal
Serious
Cause
He turned down the club's offer. The wage was below his expectations.
Led the defence in a tight match
Minor
Cause
He held the back line together when the game was hanging in the balance.
Warned about his body language
Moderate
Cause
The issue was less about ability and more about his reaction when things went wrong. Staff had already warned him about this in the last few weeks.
Outlook
Repeated incidents may damage dressing-room status.
Reassured by a calm full-time message
Minor
Cause
The moment called for a quiet show of support.
Outlook
Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
Asked the manager for a private conversation
Serious
Cause
He has unresolved concerns over his contract. His relationship with the manager is steady but tense. He has already raised this with the manager recently.
