Kieron Dyer eager
Newcastle midfielder Kieron Dyer says he's eager to show his commitment to the club after falling out with previous manager Bobby Robson.
Dyer has been sidelined since mid-September with a hamstring injury, missing 11 matches. He's been included in the squad for Wednesday's League Cup match with Chelsea.
"There has been some recent criticism about me in the press and that has hurt," Dyer said. "I am fully committed to this football club and want to show the manager and the fans that is the case."
Dyer angered Robson and Newcastle fans when he refused to play on the right side of midfield earlier in the season.
Subsequent apologies have failed to gain Dyer much sympathy. New manager Graeme Souness, who took over Sept. 13, is reportedly considering selling Dyer in January to strengthen the club's defense.
