What's happening there? He was in the first team squad at the start of the season while Neville and Ferdinand were injured - on the bench for a fair amount of games - but they've had other defenders covering for the last few weeks. Even last night, David May and Mark Lynch were on the bench.......is he injured, or just slipped really badly back? I remember McCarthy saying that he wanted to call him up for one of the friendlies we have coming up to have a look at him at left-back....that mightn't be on the cards anymore.
Well he's still only a teenager, but I was suprised not to see him in wednesdays squad given the other players there, must be injured I reckon. We'd hardly know if he was or not anyway as Paul Tierney being out for a few weeks is hardly headline news......For the moment.
