Frozen-out Reid not fretting over finals

SUNDERLAND midfielder Andy Reid, pictured, insists next summer’s World Cup finals are not on his mind.

The 27-year-old will be sitting at home on Wearside when the Republic of Ireland go into play-off battle with France over the next few days with a trip to South Africa at stake.

Reid has found himself surplus to requirements at international level in recent times after his much-publicised fall-out with manager Giovanni Trapattoni.
