Finnan to return ?

[jmurphyc]

Degen didn't even get into the Swiss team during the Euro Finals. He's no Finnan. No need to worry about him from an Irish perspective.

Degen's season was badly marred by injury. He only played 10 games for Dortmund this season. Had he been fully fit he would have started for the Swiss.

Accoring to Trapattoni, he has convinced Finnan to return to international football: http://newstalk.ie/newstalk/news/11072/trap-promises-finnan-return.html

Arbeloa apparently wants a move back to Spain for personal reasons, and with both Degan and Darby looking hopeless in pre-season he might be staying at Liverpool after all. Wonder how that would affect his decision to play international football?

It now looks like Degen is set to miss a minimum of two months with calf surgery. Increasingly likely that Finan will stay at Anfield.

finnan is still good enough to play 30+ league games a season
