Shame. Seems like an odd decision. International window and all.
Must be more bigger picture stuff going on at PSV I guess.

From afar Thomas could well be fighting for his future at PSV. A heap of midfield competition at the club, with rumours of being loaned out, and if that happened he may never return to the heights of being at a 'big' club like PSV.
He's been fighting a succession of less serious injuries, since returning from 18 mths out with his bad ACL. He may spend as much time each day at PSV in the gym strengthening his body with the club trainer, as much as on the training field.
Hay also mentioned that he didn't currently like being away from wife and 2 young kids, but that he was a Fifa window by window proposition, ie he maybe available for the Nov window.
His absence gives someone like Stamenic an opportunity, esp since Marko unfortunately didn't play much at the Olympics.
