Dudek only played four games for Liverpool this season after losing his place to Pepe Reina but Rafael Benitez says he was still suprised Dudek wasn't picked as part of Poland's World Cup squad.

"I don't believe there is a better Polish keeper than Jerzy and I was really sad when I heard he wasn't in the squad," said the Liverpool boss.
 
"I had been speaking to Jerzy and I knew how much it meant to him to go to the World Cup. He played in a number of games for us in the second part of the season and did very well, so I can't understand the decision."
