Issue with Roefs?


Where's it rumoured that Xhaka is a doubt like?

There is no rumour. Regis said yesterday that a couple of players were possible doubts and would be assessed “late”.

Given Xhaka has just returned from and ankle injury, and someone nearly broke his ankle on Saturday, I thought (still think) it might be him.

RLB clearly isn’t giving anything away if the rumours regarding Roefs are true and he didn’t mention it yesterday when asked.
 
as Keith said just keeps popping up in threads. People guessing from RLBs qoute yesterday about having a few doubts most likely
Xhaka was fouled after about an hour and played on for about 15 minutes. Regis said they agreed he'd play 75 minutes prior to the game as he was lacking match fitness and his substitution was nothing to do with him being injured.

That's the facts. Anything else is pure speculation.

True, but it wouldn't be the first time he's kept an injury quiet if he was hurt. Mind, so he should, it's wrong that we "know" about Roefs being injured, and the only person helped by that twitter kid's post is his own ego getting a stroke.

I don't even know if it was the same ankle he was out with that got the bad tackle on? But if he was injured again it's highly unlikely he's going to play on for another 15 minutes.

Players try to play through injuries all the time. Obviously if it was REALLY bad he'd be off, but given we're only 3 days after the event I won't be at all surprised if he's out.

I don’t mind updates on players we already know are injured, but finding out about new injuries should be at the HC’s discretion.
