Nuff Said 4,281 Posted September 4, 2017 Was he really, or was this a convenient ''injury'' so we could keep him safe? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Birdseye 0 Posted September 4, 2017 I just hope he is not out for the season Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Diane 496 Posted September 4, 2017 Its just a slight groin strain, nothing to worry about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,169 Posted September 4, 2017 Seemed like a tight muscle picked up in training - unlikely to keep him out for long but I guess he won''t be risked for Ireland. Convenient that O''Neil now has an actual reason to not play him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BroadstairsR 1,683 Posted September 4, 2017 It was quite a few seasons ago that Hoolahan was considered a player of pensionable age who should be used sparingly.It seems quite some time since it has been considered, for example, that he should be automatically benched for away games.That this slight injury evokes concern is testament not only to his immense talent but also to his endurance and admirable self-preservation.However, chronological considerations dictate that Wes must now be used sparingly.Daniel Farke has made a few early mistakes and one of them was to use the player for an inconsequential cup game.We will only get the best from this vintage if sipped.This latest ''tweak'' suggests ageing vulnerability. We have the likes of Maddison, Pritchard soon and others after all.I''m glad Hooli won''t be other than rested during this international break. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted September 4, 2017 Very surprised Wes didn''t retire from international football after the euros. I think had he had more caps earlier in his career he certainly would have. But he seriously needs to prioritise his club career now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
