Bournemouth defender Jordan Zemura remains frozen out as his contract dispute continues.
Zemura's current deal expires this summer, after the club triggered a one-year extension clause in his contract in March 2022.
It is understood the club have offered Zemura a significant pay-rise from his current terms, but the London-born ace or his representatives are yet to respond or engage in discussions, says the Daily Echo.
Ahead of defeat at Aston Villa, O'Neil was asked if Zemura had a future at Cherries.
He said: "I think Jordan has had a good time here, of course.
"My job at the moment, I don't get involved at all in contract situations, just purely on team selection.
"As we saw, Lloyd Kelly is back fit now and can play left-back.
"We've got a Uruguay international back available, Matias Vina, who has trained well.
"So we have three very capable left-backs at the moment. So some tough decisions for me, but also positives that we have more options."
Asked if Zemura remains in his thoughts when picking his team, O'Neil added: "All of them are, always.
"I'll always make an honest and what I believe to be a sensible decision around who is best to play."
