And the Belgium international is refusing to rule out a move away from the Hawthorns, after losing his place in the Baggies' back four.

The 27-year-old was a regular starter under former boss Alan Irvine, but has not played in the Premier League since the appointment of Pulis.

He told Belgian newspaper La Meuse: "I do not understand. I have also got no explanation as to why I don't play.

"Even if my (left-back rival) is injured or suspended I don't get a chance. That's frustrating because I feel very happy in Birmingham and I have a good relationship with the fans."

Pocognoli insisted he will not rock the boat at Albion, but admitted he could be forced to consider his future.

He said: "I will not cause trouble, because I am not that type, the end of the season is approaching and I am waiting for the club to tell me their plans.

"After I played 15 good games, I know that some clubs have followed me. It is too early to talk about that, but I want to stay in the Premier League.

"I have a good life here and at age 27 I think of everything. But I am also open to a new league."
