Well firstly that isn't supposed to be true afaik, secondly, still doesn't mean anything.
If someone asks if he's in the squad and he says no, whats the natural second question, do you think he'll be picked in the future.
Well lets see, he won't improve on where he is now, and he's injury prone and now older... how many players improve and become less injury prone when they hit Rio's age.
Again, this is a conversation he could have with anyone else, the only issue here is that someone has to run to the press and shout his mouth off. People don't need to do that full stop, they are about half the problem with the press, the other half is overblown reporting, misquoting, intentionally misrepresenting and creating an issue.
Two situations off the top of my head, the Cesc spitting incident. One pratt runs to the press with a story, the press make it look worse than it was to start with, and nothing is done when its proven false. Cesc was shown on video on the pitch at the time this happened, what also happened was most of the media posted this picture that tried to make it look like Cesc was pulling an angry face at Fagan, stupid people pointed this out that Cesc was trying to start a fight, yet when you look at the picture Cesc is in the foreground, Fagan the background and they aren't anywhere near each other but stupid people see it as Cesc facing off with him. It added "Cesc was angry" intent to the story, then it became about why Cesc was on the pitch, and in a tracksuit.... when almost every game other players/staff, media, cameramen, trainers, ballboys, etc, come on the pitch.
Another one was the Hamilton/hot bird from that band story, theres a picture where she's clearly NOT kissing the wife beater, but the story went worldwide, a fuzzy picture inside a club to fool stupid people into thinking they were kissing.
Press = god awful, people who run to the press with nothing stories = almost as bad.
