Newcastle boss Rafael Benitez has told keeper Matz Sels to ignore the social media trolls who abused him after Saturday's Sky Bet Championship draw at Aston Villa.
The Spaniard declined to reveal whether or not he will persist with £4.5million summer signing Sels for Wednesday night's showdown with Norwich after a difficult start to his career on Tyneside, which saw him delete his Twitter account amid a tide of criticism following the game at Villa Park.
However, he advised the 24-year-old Belgian to concentrate on improving his game on the training pitch rather than listen to his critics.
