Nigel Pearson admits no player is undroppable in regards to Andi Weimann's form, but claims the forward won't benefit by having a spell on the substitute bench.
The 31-year-old set the bar high last season after firing 22 league goals and 10 assists to be crowned the club's Player of the Year. He immediately hit the ground running this campaign with four goals in his opening four matches but has yet to find the target in the last 10 games.
He also hasn't assisted in his last five matches with City's usual prolific forward line hitting a blank in their last two matches. Weimann's recent form, especially after the international break, has been a concern with just two shots and two key passes in his last five Championship games.
