It appears to be missed by other players in a team (5)
I believe the answer is:
aside
'it appears to be missed by other players' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'a team' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'a'+'side'='ASIDE'
'in' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aside that I've seen before include "Aides (anag.)" , "Actor's remark for the audience alone" , "kept in reserve" , "Remark by an actor, directly to audience say" , "Remark not for hearing" .)
