Defender John Arne Riise and his Roma team-mates are fans of
Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher.
The former Liverpool left back is readying himself for
a double-header of World Cup qualifiers for Norway, as they bid to
make up ground in Group 9.
Scotland are currently second in this group but Fletcher will
not be in action as George Burley’s side are inactive in the next
two rounds of matches.
Fletcher was unlucky to miss out on a Champions League final
berth following his controversial red card against Arsenal in the
semi-final second leg but his overall efforts were not lost on
Roma.
“Fletcher had an excellent season. I was amazed by his
performances,” Riise said in the Daily Record.
“My team-mates at Roma said to me they’d never seen so much
energy from one player as they did in Fletcher in the two Champions
League semi-final games against Arsenal.
“He was missed in that final.”
