The 29-year-old has not been involved in the last two games since serving a one-match ban for a sending off against local rivals Norwich on November 28th, but insists he has no problem with the manager.
He told the club's official website: "I don't know where the story has come from, but it's total rubbish.
"It's completely untrue. The only fight I'm having at the moment is to get back in the team.
"I need to show the manager that I should be starting games for this football club and the only way I'm going to do that is to keep my head down and work hard on the training pitch and wait for my chance."
