Treacherous Dimitri Payet is refusing to play for West Ham’s under 23s after being exiled to the ‘stiffs’ for training sessions.
The youngsters have been preparing to play Aston Villa in Dagenham and have been joined by the £125,000-per-week player at Chadwell Heath according to the Daily Mail.
Payet is trying to stay fit by taking part in their training sessions but has reportedly refused to play for the Under 23s.
That may in fact help the Hammers who could be wary of risking him picking up an injury in a Premier League 2 match, which could scupper any deal with Marseille.
Slaven Bilic doesn’t want the troublemaker anywhere near the first team squad and has excluded him from a winter training camp in Dubai next month.
