Most of us would walk one legged for miles for a chance to pull on the red shirt of Wales.
But Bluebirds manager Dave Jones has suggested McCormack is perhaps too committed to his country and blamed his latest hamstring injury on a 14 hour round trip to Scotland.
McCormack travelled up to Scotland from Cardiff for just 37 minutes of a 4-0 defeat in Norway before being subbed for tactical reasons.
Dave Jones told the Cardiff official website: "Part of the trouble was the lad's international commitments with Scotland. In one match he played half an hour or so before being subbed because one of the Scotland players had been sent off and the team had to be reshaped.
"But it turned out that Ross had driven to Scotland to join the party, a journey that takes six or seven hours, then he had driven back down here. He should have gone up and down by plane. Then he goes into a game cold and gets injured.
"Now he has his rehab to do before training - he has his own personal programme to do before he joins the rest on the training field."
