Fulham line up move for West Brom's Jonathan Greening
The negotiations between the clubs prompted Di Matteo to opt against playing the 30-year-old midfielder in last night's 3-2 win at Peterborough.
Greening handed in a transfer request after a £4 million offer from Fulham was rejected last month.
"Basically the two clubs are negotiating," Di Matteo said.
"His team-mates are fighting for a cause. I didn't feel it was right for him to be involved last night.
"He's been a great professional for us. I spoke to him before the game.
"There has been a lot going on for him in the last five or six weeks but, once again, I have to emphasise he's been very good for us.
"He's been a true professional and it was my decision to pull him out last night."
Following a quiet two months in the transfer window that saw only Stephen Kelly and Bjorn Helge Riise sign, there has been a flurry of activity at Craven Cottage this week.
Republic of Ireland winger Damien Duff joined from Newcastle for £4m on Tuesday and a decision on Greening is expected within 48 hours.
