Sven weighs in on Ash, Mikey Owen, Sol, and King... http://www.thefa.com/England/Senior...s/2006/04/England_SvenExclusive_22April06.htm
Good thread sir, we should keep this updated till the world cup. Owen set to be back for next week, Sol mabey back next week to and Ash is about 2 weeks away, King should be fine for the world cup.
Thanks.. King is the only one I am worried about making it all the way back fit, but I am with you, I believe he will be ready to go....
king looks to be the only one over whom there is serious doubt at this stage - the world cup squad has to be named before the pre-tournament friendlies are played so he won't have a chance to prove his fitness. just depends whether sven wants to take the gamble - it may depend on whether campbell's has been convincingly proven, as taking two half fit centrebacks would be pretty stupid. however, it's not really as if there's anyone banging down the door to take his place though, especially with woodgate crippled again (assuming carragher is going and we're only taking one right back).
It's not just about being fit to play, a huge amount depends on match practice, which they will all lack, other than Ledley, who looks the least likely to recover - I would not be picking Mikey, Sol or Ashley, for a World Cup game, based on reserve and friendly appearances! It is now looking increasingly likely, that Mong P, will go - we are fcukin doomed..........
How long before the Sun publishes his foot on the front-cover se we can all heal it with our positive thoughts?
guess it was inevitable that roonaldo would go down. typical .lets see if its an injury that will keep him out for a while.
He had the same sh1te in portugal when he got injured in the QF. jeez ,if he is missing the WC it shows we are truely cursed when it comes to injuries .
Well it's the x-ray they are taking right now that will be a key.. Hopefully a negative x-ray, a short recovery and off to Germany..
You never know. I've done this before - I thought I broke my foot, but it was really bad bruising, the pain at the time was excruiating. Let's wait and see what the quacks say later...
we don't need him till the end of June, as we have a piss easy group stage. that being said i am holding out hope that its not serious till we find out from a professional
true, he'll either have just twisted it badly and will be out for 2 weeks, or he'll be out for the next 6 months.
