Navas

Sevilla midfielder Jesus Navas will not go on the club's tour of the United States because he suffers from homesickness.

 

The 21-year-old has already informed the club that he will stay away from the trip abroad for the third season in succession.

 

"He is not going to go to Chicago and it is very difficult," said Navas' agent Jesus Rodriguez de Moya.

 

"He cannot go, but the club will be given a full explanation of the reasons."

 

While that move has again caused unrest for the UEFA Cup winners, if Navas were not to travel to Marbella to join the squad in their preparations for the Spanish Super Cup then he could be in trouble.

 

Sevilla are due to play Real Madrid in the prestigious two-legged event, which begins on August 12th, and coach Juande Ramos is becoming increasingly concerned about Navas' anxiety disorder.

 

Ramos has been understanding over Navas' situation, but he would have difficulty supporting the player should he fail to travel to Marbella.

 

According to reports, Navas has also not been called into Spain squads in the past because of his inability to travel and a new contract offer has been withdrawn by Sevilla until he assures them that he will fulfil his duties.

 

Navas' place in the Sevilla squad is now under threat, due to the summer arrival of Tom De Mul, but the club have told the youngster that if he can overcome his homesickness then they will double his current salary.

Why do they call it home sickness and not an anxiety disorder which it seems more likely to be?

[Diarmuid]

I think this problem can be solved by Navas manning up.

you'd make a sympathetic doctor.

He must really have a anxiety disorder. Shame that this probably will ruin his career.

[windy city red]

Navas is 21?! Damn...I didnt know he's so young...

[The Hitman]

This seems to be a really big problem for him at the moment.A shame,because he's a great little player.

someone should random drug test him anyway

yes. i suspect he has been injecting large amounts of estrogen

[Guest Ant]

Surely the club should pay for his family to go with him...

What ever happend to the times when Clubs used to pay players loads of money to do such things

[growler]

they started paying them and their agents millions of pounds in wages, and giving them the opportunity to earn millions from sponsorships and so on. Its not exactly a stretch for a football player to fly his family with him if he wants.
