Misses the Asia Cup then.

That’s a positive for us

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Surprised more wasn't made of the yanking up by the twat Palace keeper after he had twisted his ankle, believing he had dived.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Out for 6 weeks

Basically missing pretty much the same games he’d have missed anyway

 

[The Pilsbury Echo]

Adingra out for a month also

As Matt Le Tissier would say, it makes you wonder?

…especially now the same applies to Adingra……

Adingra too? Bloody hell, what have we done to deserve this?

Adingra too? Bloody hell, what have we done to deserve this?

Odd thing is we were going to lose them both for most/all of January at least anyway, so we’re not in much worse a position than we otherwise would have been. Arguably the rest/recuperation will be more use as the season progresses than scooting off around the world playing more games……

Mitoma's performance has been off since the first international break. If he ends the season without breaking out of his funk, no one will offer silly money for him, so he could stay and rebound spectacularly in 24-25.

Doesn't really mean anything does it? If he's injured, he won't play.

Unless they deem his injury less serious than us. Also their needs are different. If they decide he can play but will worsen the injury by the time the tournament is done they won't care.

My guess is that they want to assess the injury themselves.

If they reach the same conclusion, which they almost certainly will, they will release him back to us.

I can’t believe they’d be that cynical. Maybe his exact recovery timescale is unknown and they want him to be around if they progress in the comp

Of course they won't. The Japanese have respect.

 

[Official Old Man]

Free trip home to Japan. Quick inspection by their medical team. Declared unfit. Stays for a week with his family.

 

[American Seagle]

Would we rest a player so they would be fitter for a national team? Would we rest Dunk, say, so he would be more rested and less susceptible to injury for England? No. So why should they?

Knock out a quick PhD in Keepie-Uppies, back in Brighton in time for tea and medals.
