Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil appeared to take a thinly-veiled swipe at Wales duo Kieffer Moore and Chris Mepham as he axed them from the Cherries squad.
Moore and Mepham were among a number of Bournemouth players who were called up for duty to the most recent international break. Indeed, Moore scored the winner for Wales against Latvia at Cardiff City Stadium last week.
Both have played important roles for Bournemouth this season, with Moore the club's third top-scorer with four goals this term and Mepham having turned out 21 times in the Premier League so far in this campaign.
