Alonso upsets Rafa

[Beefy]

Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez is not impressed with Xabi Alonso, who did not travel to Milan with his team-mates to face Inter Milan in the Champions League because his partner was set to give birth, although the midfielder had wanted to fly out on the morning of the match. (Various)

Should footballers be given time off if their wives are due to give birth, or should it be written into their contracts that the club comes first ?

Hi all.

I believe that the motive is sufficient to have at least a few days although I do not see badly that was in his contracts as it can reflect the same law or norm for a normal worker.

Kind Regards
