Word on the ground is Reinildo highly likely to play. Le Fee has a good chance. Roefs, Ballard, Mukiele we just don’t know.

We are better defensively when Mukiele plays CB.

He's certainly a smarter defender than Ballard but obviously Ballard's physical presence is big for us in both boxes. The way Mukiele and Alderete handled Haaland in Jan was immense, and they've done it to other great strikers before the turn of the year

If he doesn't play for us I don't think he'll play for NI. You're right, wouldn't be a good look for him to do that

Not really an adopted country though. Maybe he grew up in England but half his family is Irish. It's not like he qualified by marriage or living there for a certain amount of time.

Went down holding his hamstring on about 35 minutes, played on then aggravated it again in the second half and had to go off.

So he's obviously injured it, and you don't get 1 week hamstring injuries.

This is it like. I’ve got no doubt he’s out.

I’m confused as to why he played on. Especially coming out for the second half. You can run a knock off. You can’t manage a hamstring.

Hopefully they're all available and RLB is just playing games.

I don’t think the injury in the first half was his hamstring. Seemed like he’d taken knock and spent 10 minutes trying to run it off, looked more like he’d jarred his ankle or knee.

But had he come off at HT he then wouldn’t have felt his hamstring
