Obviously we are miffed at losing Maty and Alireza for a month, but we are not the only club affected. Who else is off for a month in the desert?
For starter's NEWCASTLE are losing Ki (South Korea) and Muto (Japan).
I presume CARDIFF's in-form keeper Etheridge (Philipines) is off?
Does SOUTHAMPTON'S Yoshida still play for Japan?
I see that Australia have seen fit to name HUDDERSFIELD's Aaron Mooy in their squad, hoping he can play some part at the end, despite the Terrier's insisting he will be injured for the duration of it. Can't imagine they are too pleased about that.
Anyone else?
(SPURS' Son is going, but that only affects us insofar as he won't be available to help them beat our rivals)
As a complete aside, I see that HIBERNIAN have THREE players in the Australia squad. That's got to hurt.
