I think the way forward is not to participate in any football matches for fear of winning them and, in turn, having to participate in further football matches. I propose we give up football indefinitely giving us a clear advantage over all frequent participation football clubs.
I didn't read anything into it as along with the only other exchange we have had in this thread I don't assume CH to be telling the whole truth and nothing but the truth in his press conferences. However, if you want a literal interpretation then no, I don't tend to think that an injury that...
Gross [ankle]- “it’s not one that is going to keep him out for a number of games”
I am not sure how you can have read that as CH saying he was likely to miss a number of games.
He also missed the Southampton game of course....
Doesn't this answer your initial question? He said we had no injury problems in the pre-match press conference but Pascal Gross was, and still is, injured. Apologies if I have missed the point somewhere along the line! You don't expect a manager to reveal his hand do you.
