Apparently, he gave an interview somewhere saying he won't give the usual speech about the need to work together, regroup, etc and that he's having a hard time coping with the situation.
That's where you need to draw the line, I think.
As a human being, nothing, not even such a horrible event as being relegated, is worth playing with someone's (mental, in this case) health. For that, he deserves to be left alone and given some space. You never know what's going on behind the scenes and how tough some situations can be for people.
As a professional, he needs to be exfiltrated as quickly as possible, regardless of his ability. In a group and in the middle of a crisis, you can't afford to have someone lose their nerves so blatantly, because it's infectious. Give him some time off, send him home, whatever, but you can't have someone panicking when the situation is already that bad.
I just read a few quotes, but they really didn't look good at all. There's no shame in not being to handle a tough situation. Nobody knows how they would fare in his stead. But if the quotes are anything to go by, we need to remove him from the group. I'd rather play a youngster with zero experience but a stronger mindset than carry on with him, judging on that.
