Scottish Mag 3 Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 Kieron Dyer's form is already good enough to take him back into the England squad, but Nigel Pearson believes the Newcastle midfielder is more concerned with ridding himself of his "sicknote" tag. Dyer is expected to be named in Steve McClaren's squad for next month's friendly against Spain and Pearson feels an international recall would be richly deserved. But Newcastle's assistant manager has suggested the former Ipswich star is concentrating more on proving to people his lengthy injury problems are behind him. Pearson said: "Kieron's form has been very, very good. He works particularly hard and he is very keen to prove he is over his injuries. The more games he plays the better chance he has got of getting rid of that tag. He works very hard to maintain his fitness. "He is a type of player who is very rare. He's a very important player for us and I think, as he's fully fit, he can offer something to the England side. His view is that he wants to concentrate on playing games for Newcastle first and, if he does that, he will get back into the England picture. "He's absolutely 100% fit and, I think with any international situation, the manager wants to pick the best possible players that are available and Kieron is one of those. "I think it will be fantastic if he gets international recognition again, for him and the club." Meanwhile, Glenn Roeder has urged Albert Luque not to let the collapse of his proposed move to PSV Eindhoven to get him down. Roeder said: "After a decision made at the highest levels of both clubs, Albert Luque will not be going to PSV Eindhoven. "He has to put PSV out of his mind. "I know what it is like when a player sets his heart and joining another club and the move does not happen. "They become despondent, but I will not accept any despondency around the Newcastle United training ground." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
