The Swansea City and Wales midfielder has hinted on more than one occasion that it may be the right thing to do in look away for a loan move but that has effectively been ruled out by Roberto who would prefer to keep him at the club.<\/p>\n
And Martinez believes that Owain is getting too distracted by the Wales situation – he is unlikely to get call ups if not featuring in the first team<\/p>\n
Speaking to the Evening Post, Roberto said “Owain has been distracted too often by the Wales situation<\/p>\n
“He has been called up when he wasn’t playing for his club, when he was injured, and that can put some doubts in your head.<\/p>\n
“Every time he isn’t playing for Swansea he is getting concerned about his Welsh career and that is wrong.<\/p>\n
“Nobody should be thinking that far ahead, you should be concentrating on your daily work.<\/p>\n
“There’s nothing wrong with Owain expressing his feelings<\/p>\n
“He has had two difficult seasons with injuries and obviously he would love to see himself playing week in, week out.<\/p>\n
“But sometimes in football it takes time to get to 100 per cent in all areas.<\/p>\n
“Physically Owain is 110 per cent now, but sharpness, decision-making and tactical awareness will come with a little bit of time.<\/p>\n
“Owain is a great professional \u2014 he is always a 10 in training \u2014 and he is also a special man,” he added.<\/p>\n
“He is a fantastic talent who I see playing a massive role for Swansea City.<\/p>\n
“I want Owain to be happy and I speak with him often enough to know how he feels.<\/p>\n
“Everyone wants play well in every game, but that’s not football.<\/p>\n
“If you look back, Owain has been improving every day since we came back for pre-season and that’s what I’m looking at.<\/p>\n
“At the moment, sending him out on loan is not something I am considering.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
