Strap it up kid and take a few painkillers you'll be fine. Seriously, the first game maybe, but surely a finger injury should be better by the second week of the tournament? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just has to be in the squad and go out there with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different sport but Ben Stokes damaged his last year and was out for months afterwards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 Looks like he will join up with the squad as part of the travelling party, but injury must be more serious than “back in a week”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting. I wonder if we'll still get the money from the club benefits programme? I cannot find the exact wording of the actual rules, but FIFA's promotional material says that clubs get money for "...each one of the days the relevant player remains with his national team during the FIFA World Cup 2022." Note it says "remains with his national team" not "is part of the squad" or "remains in the squad". So even though Wollacott isn't part of the squad, if he travels and acts as a training cone, maybe that still counts as being "with his national team"? I really don't know the answer btw. Just musing. Edited November 14, 2022 by ExiledAjax 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
