Sonny has had his op - earliest is 29th May (day after Leeds game)and is able to return in 3 weeks. Whose decision was it for him to carry on through the season with an injury?

Brazil knocked S Korea out on 4th December, we didn't have a game til Boxing day. He could have had the op in that time and been back early New Year.

true it seems bizzare, or an excuse for poor form

Or it progressively got worse.

Hard to know but he was definitely off form from the start of the season, it didn'thappen halfway through. Same as Kulu. Here's hoping whatever the issue, it is behind him, on form he is such an important player.

I did the Stadium Tour yesterday afternoon (highly recommended) and was amazed by the number of South Koreans doing the tour
