Brighton star Leandro Trossard ‘leaves England on-board the Eurostar for Belgium’

Leandro Trossard has reportedly boarded a Eurostar train back to Belgium in relation to incidents that have seen him banished from Brighton‘s matchday squad for this weekend’s Premier League match.

Trossard’s quick departure from England came after the star was told that he wouldn’t be part of the Seagulls’ team to face Liverpool on Saturday.

The Belgian has been heavily linked with a January move away from Brighton with Tottenham interested in landing the winger.

Trossard is said to have drove his car from his home in England to the Eurostar tunnel in Dover in response to his attitude being questioned by club manager Roberto De Zerbi, according to The Express.

Brighton’s joint-leading goalscorer Trossard has bagged seven goals in his last 16 Premier League outings for the club, but has seen his future on the south coast recently thrown into doubt.

On Friday, team manager Roberto De Zerbi confirmed Trossard would play no part in the squad to face Jurgen Klopp’s side at the American Express stadium, telling reporters: ‘Leandro knows very well my opinion. 

‘The last session before the Middlesbrough game, when he understood he wasn’t playing, he left the session without telling me anything.

‘That isn’t good. On Monday I spoke with him and explained I don’t like this attitude.’

Saturday’s visit of Liverpool marks a second successive missed match for Trossard after he was absent from the Brighton side that secured safe passage to the FA Cup fourth round last weekend. However, De Zerbi at the time admitted that omission was forced through injury to the attacker.
