DAVID MOYES is relieved that Tim Cahill will sit out Australia’s summer friendlies in order to enjoy a long-overdue rest.

The Socceroos are set to play two matches at the end of the domestic campaign.

But Cahill, who is still struggling to overcome a persistent foot problem, says he will miss the games in order to look after his body.

The 31-year-old has had a hectic footballing schedule over the last 18 months, playing in two major international tournaments, and Moyes welcomed his decision to rest before taking part in a full pre season with Everton.

He said: “He definitely needs that break because he played in the World Cup and also in the Asian Cup and I don’t think that has helped him.

“In fact it has really hindered him in my eyes.

“He has been really good for Everton and Everton has been good to him as well.
