Rio has played the most games at centre-back for Man Utd this season, more than any other player at the club so playing games can't be an issue for him. The game against San Marino, he really wouldn't need to play in, you could probably stick any of the squad in at CB for that game so he wouldn't even be playing two games in a week. So again, fitness and his regime would not be an issue.So Rio can't play for England because he has a strict fitness regime, what utter boll**ks.Secondly, what about the player's recent injury record suggests that the reasons given for withdrawing are not true? He has missed huge chunks of recent seasons, and has had to be nurtured back slowly just to be able to play two games in a row. With all the theory and technology around now, it's not so unlikely that he actually does have a specific training routine, that he can't just mess around with at short notice. England in theory have some of the best fitness coaches and physios in the country and in St Georges Park, we have the best facilities in the country. If he really wanted to play for England, it is quite simple, all the Man U staff have to do is to pass on his regime to the England staff and ensure that he follows it. You don't need to be a genius to work that out.Firstly, Ferguson may give the press and the FA a tough time, but look at his record with players. Read any book by one of his ex-players and you will see that he is loyal and respectful to them, and treats them like adults. Look at his record with players and look how long them play under him for - as long as possible.
