        If true can only due due the number of "homegrown" players needed in the squad. Even so no way Hyypia would have been the player to miss out for me.

          He has probably been dropped to accomodate the 8 locally trained player.(so says .no)

            To be fair it makes sense to me if you have to drop one person make it the one player who is least likely to be able to make an extra match each week. Not that I'm especially happy about it but I think it makes sense.

                Whatever the reason, it's a shame.

                    Absolutely agree. Should have found a way to accomodate him.

                      There willo come a time were we need another CB in the champions league, it will be then that Rafa realises he has made a mistake.

                      Hyypia is a beast in Europe

                        Also no Plessis or El Zhar. .

                        Perhaps the very reason why Rafa was so keen on Barry? To boost the number of national players. Riera "stole" one position - possibly from Sami.

                          And no El-Zhar? Anyway, there's 9 locally trained players in the squad already is there not?

                            Carra
                            Agger
                            Skrtel
                            Kelly

                            and at a push Arbeloa.

                              This is the squad for the up coming group stages. Sami is injured at the moment im sure. Plus we need homegrown players in the squad and he has 3 defenders ahead of him now
