da pinup bet： Sheffield Star reporter Dom Howson has provided an update on the future of centre-back David Bates at Sheffield Wednesday after he was absent during the Owls’ FA Cup victory over Brighton and Hove Albion.
What’s he said?
da esport bet： The Baggies defeated their Premier League opposition last weekend as manager Garry Monk named a slightly-tweaked line up – young prospect Osaze Urhoghide was even handed a debut amongst six changes.
Bates, along with Moses Odubajo, was missing from the entire matchday squad. Howson revealed earlier in the week that the Steve Bruce summer signing has no future at the club under Monk, meaning he is free to leave this month.
In a recent Q&A, he also gave an update on the future of the Hamburger SV defender, he said:
“As for Bates, it is clear he is not part of Monk’s plans. If he was going to play, Brighton seemed an obvious opportunity to give him a run-out.”
Unlikely future?
It appears as if time is running out for Bates at Hillsborough as he has featured just once all season – in the Carabao Cup second round against Rotherham United.
He has been named only twice on the bench under Monk, both of which were the 40-year-old’s first two games in charge. Bates has not been seen since.
Howson’s latest update is a damning on his future as he suggests that it is ‘clear’ he has no part to play this season.

Therefore, it may be wise to send him back to his parent club this month, especially given the wealth of options available in his position currently.
Monk is able to call on skipper Tom Lees, Dominic Iorfa, Julian Borner, and if need be, Sam Hutchinson.
The 23-year-old was signed on a season-long loan from HSV back in August by caretaker boss Lee Bullen.
