It’s a pity. I wouldn’t have thought FDV was reliably fit and speedy. Or that any of Sutton, McGarry, LKH or Wilkins had secured that back up spot. A run of 5-10 good games could have made a case for squad selection imo, especially with his experience. 

But you’ve got to want it to commit to the training and the intensity and when something comes somewhat out of the blue, as you say, you’re probably looking past your journeyman years and have been thinking about something more stable. Like that young Nix striker who went to the Olympics, but then settled in Wales. Think he’s still a coach at the same club.
