Vicente Del Bosque says he has received no specific orders from the Real Madrid board about how to handle Spain defender Aitor Karanka, who is stalling on a contract extension with the Spanish champions.
"Speculation around the player has increased mainly because of how the media dealt with this case. Karanka has not been left out since his recovery because of any 'hidden agenda', but simply because I opted for other solutions in defence", Del Bosque said, hinting at Francisco Pavon's recent run in the first team.
Pavon even capped his period of good form with his very first goal for Real Madrid in an official match.
