Hardly mental at all. England would probably not take an injured player to a tournament except their absolute talisman. Funny how people are wise after the fact on here.

I said it at the time on this thread.

Hes one of their best players and even captained the team, its a nation without a huge depth of quality like England have. Anybody could have guessed this would happen. I said in September we probably wouldn't see him in a Sunderland shirt again until February, it was mainly blind hope that people thought he wouldn't be called up.

Only an injury setback on his recovery would have took him out their squad

Absolute joke from our POV, I want our record signing playing for us after a long time out with an injury.

But I suppose I have to be happy for him. Everyone wants to represent their country.

Well done you. When a player has been out for three months it is not in the slightest bit 'mental' to think he wouldn't be selected.

Yet here we are like most said...

Hes one of their best players and in a big squad of 28, he was always going to go even if its as a sub for the knockout rounds.

Bit annoying like coz dunno how much he’ll even play for them given he’s not kicked a ball for 3+ months, so he could end up coming back still needing weeks to be match fit for us

I'm sure we've taken injured players over the years. He'll need games to get back to match fitness so hopefully he gets that during the AFCON and is ready to crack on with us on his return.

If he ends up injured the meltdowns on here will be decent
