Ribery and Henry Injured? NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
All right. Deep breaths. This can’t possibly be as bad as it feels. Right?
You know after the Colombia game, when I said it looked like Franck Ribery had an icepack on his ankle. It was.
And it gets worse. He took another “knock” to the same ankle in training and had to leave early.
And Thierry Henry didn’t train so he could get more treatment for his sciatica.
Patrick Vieira did train today, and I’m not sure whether or not that’s good news. Can he be fully fit for Euros? If not for the Romania game, then for the other two? And if not, are we going to have three of our twentyy-three players now who are not at 100%?
With luck, it’s not as bad as it sounds. According to Goal.com:
French officials insisted, however, that the pair were not suffering from serious injuries and both are expected to line up for France in their opening Euro 2008 clash with Romania on Monday.
Let’s cross our fingers. Best case scenario, Ribery’s not hurt, Vieira’s either 100% better or replaced by Flamini (at this point I wouldn’t even care which), and Henry plays a solid half of each game and is subbed out for a fresh and dynamic Gomis or Anelka.
That could work. Right? Because I don’t want to think of the alternative.
