Agent denies Copenhagen coach Neestrup claims of Ryan protecting himself for World Cup

The agent of former Brighton and Arsenal goalkeeper Mat Ryan has rejected doubts about his commitment at FC Copenhagen.

The Australian goalkeeper was accused by FCK coach Jacob Neestrup of protecting himself from injury ahead of the World Cup last month.

But agent Mikkel Beck told Bold: "I do not want to comment further on the case, as I think there is enough soup on that leg.

"I can only say that 'Maty' has never in his career canceled a match if he was 100 percent ready to play."

Ryan has since left FCK this month for AZ Alkmaar.
