Peruvian Nobby Solano was not even considered for selection for Saturday's 3-0 win over Manchester City - but he did spend the weekend in Lima.
NOBBY DROPPED
ROBSON SAID: "He got a yellow card against Brazil and rang me because the coach wanted him to stay with the squad.
"They were leaving for Ecuador the next day and with him being a senior player he wanted to know whether I would give him permission to stay with the team.
"I said: `OK, you can go to Ecuador' because I had Kieron Dyer coming back, as well as Lee Bowyer and Darren Ambrose available, for the Manchester City game."
Peru sources told the Sunday Sun that Solano did not travel with the Peru squad to Ecuador, but stayed in Lima all week.
