West Brom explain James Morrison's withdrawal from Scotland squad
The Baggies midfielder, who spent three weeks on the sidelines with a niggling hamstring problem before returning for the 2-2 draw at Hull nine days ago, pulled out of the camp on Monday to undergo rehabilitation work at the Hawthorns.[LNB]Morrison was not risked for the midweek FA Cup replay defeat at Burnley but returned for Saturday's 3-2 Barclays Premier League reversal at home to Newcastle.[LNB]"We wanted to strengthen his problem areas rather than send him away where he's out of our control," Mowbray told his club's official website.[LNB]"We want to control his rehabilitation."[LNB]Morrison's withdrawal is welcome news for Mowbray, who this week lost Chris Brunt, Dean Kiely, Robert Koren, Marek Cech and Abdoulaye Meite to international call-ups, while on Tuesday striker Roman Bednar was an 11th-hour inclusion in the Czech Republic squad for Wednesday's friendly with Morocco in Casablanca.[LNB]"Roman's been called up," Mowbray continued. "He's flying to Casablanca – it's a bit warmer there. Nobody else has pulled out.[LNB]"In an ideal world, we'd like them all to stay with us, rebuild their confidence and work with them during training because we have some important games coming up.[LNB]"Every manager is the same but you're governed by rules and regulations about call-ups."[LNB][LNB]
