Emiliano Insua says he will always put his commitments with Liverpool ahead of Argentina.

The 20-year-old won his first cap for his country in the dramatic World Cup qualifying victory over Peru last month.

But Insua says: "I will never forget that I helped them to qualify for the World Cup, but I know I have to keep working hard for Liverpool first, then my country. "I want to play in South Africa next year, but Liverpool comes first and if I play well for my club, then I hope that more games for Argentina will follow."

He added: "It's been a very good season for me but I want to play more.

"I always want more but the only thing I can do is keep working hard and look to the future."
