Hodgson has asked Spain/Del Bosque to Leave Torres out of International games

if he played for utd he'd be declared injured, wouldnt play for the national team and there'd be nothing more said about it

[Pablo]

I thought after he took that kicking for the red card it would be the perfect excuse to rule him out injured. It's what Chelsea and United would have done

Thinking about it though Nando needs the games, it might work in our favour.

He does but his track record with the national side with injury in the past couple of years is woeful.

I'd prefer he didn't travel but what can you do!

He was always getting called up but I hope they use some sense and dont drag him to Argentina for the friendly.

Games is a short term fix, what he needs is a constructive 2 week period to work on his core fitness levels.
Games might get him fitter for our next game but will leave him knackered (again) after Christmas
