| Flynn opens door for Savage to return to Wales • Savage left out of squad but 'door is open' for 35-year-old• 'He offered his services. Who knows what will happen?'The Wales caretaker manager, Brian Flynn, has revealed he has spoken with Robbie Savage, one of the players who quit international football during John Toshack's reign, about a potential return.While the Derby County midfielder was not a contender for Flynn's first squad, for the 2012 Euro qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland this month, a subsequent return to Wales colours for the 35-year-old cannot be ruled out.Savage's relationship with Toshack was famously fractious, although Flynn has adopted an open-door policy in terms of former international players possibly returning to the fold. "I have spoken to Robbie Savage and explained the situation to him," Flynn said. "He offered his services. After these two games, who knows what might happen? We will sit down and talk again, and I am keen to do that. My door is open and my phone is on 24 hours."Flynn said there had been no contact with another recently retired Wales international, Fulham's Simon Davies, but he did call up Stoke City's Danny Collins, who has not played for the national team since 2007.WalesEuro 2012guardian.co.uk © Guardian News & Media Limited 2010 | Use of this content is subject to our Terms & Conditions | More Feeds guardian.co.uk |
