The correct answer is 'Tell him why you're leaving him off, and if he doesn't like it, he won't play at all, as no player is bigger than the team'
This does tend to happen when players start to see themselves as bigger than the club, and the best thing is to be honest with them, and not to let them get too big for their boots.
