The 31-year-old went home without Bruce's permission and the Blues manager may punish the star: "I will be doing my own inquiries into it and we will deal with the matter over the next 48 hours in our own internal way.
"I will have discussions with him. He is obviously disappointed.

"He travelled with the team and when he wasn't involved with the 16, he left to go home.
"Nicky went home from the team hotel. Of course, that is not normal but you can understand his frustration and disappointment."He felt he would be better going and watching it at home rather than be with us. It is not ideal but that is what has happened."I will deal with it in a way I see fit. It is a bit difficult now with emotions running the way they are because I've just seen my team get stuffed."
