Pierre Sage's 'significant decision' leads to concern over player's situation at Crystal Palace

Crystal, former Palace manager Pierre Sage has benched Chile winger Darío Osorio, sparking concerns over the loan signing's future at the club.

Darío Osorio joined Crystal Palace on loan from FC Midtjylland on deadline day with a purchase option, but has struggled for playing time under manager Pierre Sage. The 22-year-old made his league debut in September but has not featured since an EFL Cup appearance that month. Sage left him out of the squad for the recent 3-1 win over Nottingham Forest, prompting concerns in Chile that the manager has effectively closed the door on the winger, who is described as being in a 'complex situation' at Selhurst Park.
