Southampton manager Ronald Koeman admits France midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin is not in the right frame of mind to play for the club after being told he won't be allowed to join the St Mary's exodus.

Schneiderlin has attracted interest from Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, but Koeman is determined to hang onto the 24-year-old following a series of star departures from the Premier League club since the end of last season.

England internationals Adam Lallana, Luke Shaw and Rickie Lambert have all been sold, along with Croatia defender Dejan Lovren.

With Southampton's squad being rebuilt and the club's prospects looking grim, Schneiderlin wants to leave.

But he held talks with Koeman and Saints chairman Ralph Krueger on Friday and was again told he would not be sold.

Schneiderlin trained with his team-mates this week, but Koeman revealed he was too unsettled to feature in Saturday's friendly against Bayer Leverkusen.

"The situation is difficult, the player makes it difficult," Koeman said.

"I spoke to him with our chairman and the situation has not changed - we don't sell Schneiderlin and he has to accept that.

"Tomorrow he is not in the squad. He said he is not physically and, even more, mentally prepared for tomorrow.

"On one side I can understand that. We told him to take the weekend off and think about the situation.

"He will continue as a football player of Southampton. Now it is up to him."

Meanwhile, Saints defender Jose Fonte won't be departing either after the 30-year-old signed a contract extension keeping him at St Mary's until 2017.
