The 26-year-old striker was a substitute for the Trotters' opening game of the Barclays Premier League season on Saturday, coming on in the second half as they went down to a 3-1 defeat by Newcastle.

Left out: El-Hadji Diouf

Now the Senegal forward wants Lee to outline what the future holds for Diouf at the Reebok.

He said: "I just want to get everything clear in my head. I want to talk with the chairman and the manager because I want everything to be clear.

"If the manager tells me he has confidence in me, I do well. If I don't see that, I don't think I can stay. Right now as I talk, this is my crowd and this is my club.

"I don't know tomorrow, it is another day. Maybe tomorrow I go. Of course I was disappointed not to be on at the start. I am a footballer and I want to play every game.

"This is my crowd and everybody loves me here - that is why I want to play against Newcastle and every time there is a game.

"They decided I wasn't playing, though, and that was it. I respect the boss and his decision and I am here for the time."
