Portugal under-21 boss Rui Jorge has been left 'hurt' by Fabio Carvalho's brutal snub after the Liverpool starlet insisted that playing for the youth side did not "benefit" him.
Carvalho made headlines earlier this week when it was revealed that he had withdrawn from international duty via text message - despite the fact he'd been called up for Portugal U21's double-header against Czech Republic and Japan.
Although no official reason was given when the news broke on Tuesday, Jorge has now shed some light on the decision by Carvalho, who earned a dream move to Liverpool in the summer following a stunning 12 months with Fulham.
