So is it;

To give him another couple of days to stew in his own juices and think about what he has done,  I used to do something similar to my kids but not running into days.

or

He is still refusing to come in, so the club has come up with this statement to conceal the fact.

I would suggest this is the club being proactive rather than reactive,

he hasn't had chance to not turn up yet so it cant be for that.

I personally think a call from Roy Hodgeson would be a good thing and have someone at the top of everyone give him a talking to!
