Jese Rodriguez showed his anger at being overlooked by Mark Hughes by marching down the tunnel before full-time of Stoke's win over Swansea.
The Spanish striker has not started a Premier League game since October 21 and reacted with frustration when Hughes sent on Ibrahim Afellay and Ramadan Sobhi in the 70th minute to use all his substitutes.
Jese, on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, lost his place in the Stoke team after the 2-1 home defeat to Bournemouth and has only played 32 minutes since.
Jese Rodriguez was overlooked by Mark Hughes and the forward stormed off
Jese left the substitutes bench when Hughes had used up all of his replacements
On Saturday Jese is understood to have left the bench before the final whistle and driven away from the bet365 Stadium quickly afterwards.
Jese enjoyed a brilliant start to his time in the Potteries, scoring the winner against Arsenal, but has not found the net again.
He has been dealing with the personal turmoil of caring for his poorly baby back in Spain.
Speaking before the Swansea game, Hughes said Jese would get games over the Christmas period.
After a fine start at Stoke, the PSG man has struggled to earn much game time
He said: 'He's looked good in fairness. I thought he came on against Liverpool and affected the game, which was important for him.
'So he's definitely showing intent that he wants to be back involved.
'We've got a lot of games coming up so that's my intention as well. He needs to play so he will play more of a part than he has in the last three or four weeks.'
