Baker is on a season-long loan but Pulis admitted on his situation last week:
“With Lewis, the decision is simple — he either stays or he goes”
“That’s the decision, and there’s no secret about it. He’ll either go back because he wants to play, or he gets his head down, stays here, and tries to get in the team here to play. If he can do that, then brilliant.”
