Everton’s David Moyes: European Under-21 Championships will be good for Jack Rodwell
Posted By admin on May 12, 2011
David Moyes will send Everton starlet Jack Rodwell off with the England Under-21 squad to the European Championships this Summer with his blessing.
The Blues boss has refused to join a list of managers concerned with the participation of their club’s young talent and instead insists he is happy for the 20-year-old to participate.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has made his concerns known about Jack Wilshere’s expected participation in the competition, but Moyes is adamant that, for his player, it is the right thing to do.
“Jack has had a few injuries which have disrupted things but he is coming along fine,” Moyes told the Daily Mail.
“It’s a good tournament for him to be involved in and I’m happy for him to be playing. I’ve got no problems with it.”
Debate has raged as to whether the likes of Wilshere and Joe Hart should step down from senior duty to take part in Denmark and whilst Moyes is sending his young asset off with his backing, he admits the tournament will have an effect on those taking part in the latter stages.
“The problems may come next year for the lads who play the full month,” added the Everton boss.
“It will be like it is for the England senior boys, who went to the World Cup last summer.
“There will be an effect but hopefully it will help his development.”
