Did he? The only "evidence" I've seen for that claim is on the notoriously unreliable TAMB.
The following tweet was cited as evidence (there was also mention of an alleged tweet on the Chelsea youth twitter feed but no link provided):
"I will not be playing for Scotland against Serbia I've passed the U17s stage 2/3 years ago and i will not be stepping down a few levels!!"
Only problem is that this was dated 4.23 pm on 17th Feb and several subsequent tweets confirmed that he had changed his mind and was indeed travelling to Scotland for the game. Can't be bothered cutting and pasting the whole saga but it's there for all to see. Loathe as I am to follow the ramblings of any 16 year-old on Twitter, I think we have to cut him some slack here. Mark Wotte tweeted after the game that he allegedly "refused to play in" that there was "no problem" and that Feruz would definitely be involved in upcoming games with the under 17s. Seems from the comments of Wotte and Sbragia recently that neither are concerned about Feruz's commitment and that the decision to let him fly back to London was a mutually agreed one. No point in stirring up antagonistic feelings towards a clearly highly talented young player on the basis of a few immature tweets and some half-arsed internet speculation.
