This is spot on. Stupid and short sighted of the player and the coaching staff. For of all things, a friendly. The guy needed to stay back and focus on getting himself match fit to play for the team that pays him a shit ton of money. I’m sorry but this makes me really irritated ?. We need to be a bit more selfish from time to time. And fine, if the guy had been starting and flying from the start of the season, and settled in his new surroundings, then by all means, go play for ur country. But that wasn’t the case on either front. And now he’s out for a spell. And won’t see any significant contributions from him until December at the earliest.Why did we allow him to go on international duty? Need to start acting like a big club now.
Copa America ended in early July, and Lo Celso was something of a bit-part player after the group stage. He then got the customary three weeks off, spent a couple of weeks at Betis not fully participating in their preseason due to the fact that his club were negotiating his sale for the largest fee they’d ever received, and then arrived on deadline day at Spurs where he’s been working his way up to match fitness.On hindsight might as well played him more in the last 3 games, perhaps we could not have lost to the barcodes at least.
All for easing him into the fitness ffs.. Isn't it now worse. Not like he had been on a binge eating holidays before the season started. He had competitive Copa America games. Is Poch regime really so taxing on the body? If so I guess it takes some pondering. Not only the lads are lethargic and not pressing in games but they are getting injured while NOT playing, i.e during training or for their respective countries.

I am not paying anything but millions are. Seems right to me that the club should be releasing this information direct and not leaving us to guess whether DP is being fed accurate info or has his wires crossed.What are you paying for?
It really doesn't

This is why we signed three good players in the summer.
Injuries happen, we have options now. We’ll be fine.
That wasn't the initial statement you made - it was more 'it only happens to us' that I disputed.Nah, we never pick up random injuries do we?
Tbf, Joe Gomez and AOC had season ending injuries last year, they just have the squad to cope with it.
