Marko Arnautovic hopes to fight back at Stoke City.
The attacker was dropped for victory over Aston Villa.
He told The Sentinel: "Of course when you are not playing you are not happy because you want to play every game, but this is football.
"The important thing is that the team have to win, not me. I am a team player, not a player who plays for himself.
"I like scoring, but I like assisting just as much."
