Could explain not wanting to fly conway back in for a friendly v gibraltar I'd be surprised if Conway's callup isn't announced in the morning, and that he was left with th u-21s because a start against Turkey was probably of more value than a few minutes off the bench against Gibraltar. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Initial prognosis is that Cooper is expected to shake off the injury he picked up today. Nothing has been confirmed, though. It would suck for him if he missed the final international tournament of his career due to an injury. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense, someone supposedly close to being called up anyway, has scored goals at a decent level this season and scored tonight for u21s. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jives Miguel Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 We've about 5 players not fully fit now, it's a bit of a burden to carry tbh. We need another striker in, can't be having Adams as the only fit striker -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JS_FFC Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Am I right in saying this is our current injury situation: OUT - Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson, Lewis Ferguson, Lyndon Dykes Ben Doak - Working back to fitness after a serious injury. In training but yet to feature in a match. Unknown if he’s fit for Finland. Scott McTominay - Injured near the end of the FA cup final. Been training separately from the group but Clarke expects him to be fit for Finland. Stuart Armstrong - Missed the last month or so for Southampton. Working back to fitness but missed Gibraltar. Expected to be fit for Finland. John Souttar - Missed the last few Rangers games and Gibraltar. Expected to be fit for Finland. Liam Cooper - Picked up an injury against Gibraltar. Early indications are positive but not clear if he will be available for Finland or not. Kieran Tierney, Ryan Jack and Che Adams are available after recovering from their respective injuries but Jack and Adams haven’t played full 90’s yet. Have I missed anyone? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess what we saw tonight (plus a possible injury for Cooper) makes it more likely he does bring one in. In Clarke we trust, but it would almost appear to be gross negligence not to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Fifer Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Rumours that Doak is out and it's being announced later. Dykes injury also not a dodgy tackle or anything, self inflicted kicking the ground and twisting his knee. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highlandmagar Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Stevie Clark has made an absolute arse of this squad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chripper Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Apparently the Cooper thing was just a knee on knee collision and should take a day or so to recover from. We now have Cooper, McTominay, Doak, Armstrong, Souttar, Jack, Adams, etc, on the treatment table and Dykes out. It adds credence to my "Clarke should've called up 36 players" claim. Worse case scenario, all of the aforementioned don't make it, we'll have 18 players to choose from. Then there's Tierney, Jack and Hanley who are just back from injury. Conway, Johnston, Miller, Watson, King, Morrison, Gauld and Morgan should've been all included. I have the utmost respect for Steve Clarke and the job that he's done, but if we get a tornado of bad luck we might only have 5 or 7 players on the bench, as opposed to 15. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should he not have selected say 30/32 players and cast his eye over them all, the disappointment for those not selected not as harsh on the 1 or 2 that will be jettisoned this week. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only saving grace is that Clarke has got 10 days to name his final squad. The penny has to drop and for him to stop being so stubborn. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No_Problemo Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 I kind of assumed the Dykes replacement would be announced today, I mean I know he wanted time to think about it but f**k me he surely doesn’t need this much time… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
