Report: Newcastle United's Gabriel Obertan storms out

Gabriel Obertan left St James' Park ahead of Newcastle United's game against Arsenal after learning that he would not be involved in the match, according to a report.

The Daily Mail claims that the winger "flounced off in a huff" when manager Alan Pardew revealed his team for today's game, which ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Magpies.

The 24-year-old was seen heading for the players' car park an hour before kickoff and is not thought to have returned.

Obertan has not started a game in the Premier League this season.
