Everton winger Yannick Bolasie has not given up on finding his way back into the first team picture at the club.
The veteran had hoped to leave on loan this summer, but a move did not materialize.
Now he may have to wait until January to move clubs.
But rather than sulk, he will work hard and hope he gets a chance in the cup competitions this season.
"It was disappointing," Bolasie told Sky Sports about not making the team's 25-man Premier League squad.
"I continue to keep working and to play and train to the best of my ability. That's what I'm doing right now.
"I'm not counting myself out, and I believe that eventually my talent will come out - wherever it's with and wherever I am. I believe in what I'm doing, and I feel I'm doing myself justice.
"The way to stay positive is to always look for ways in which you can improve. What total distance can I get through in a week or in a session? Can I beat it next week? That's what motivates me still. This helps me stay ready in so many ways."
