Rio might be injured

As is Drogba. Suspected elbow fracture would see him out of the world cup

He's coming home... he's coming home...rio's coming home....

Dropping like flies.

Perhaps he didn't want to be part of the embarrassment when England play? ;)

Dawson is an excellent replacement and in much better form than Rio.

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

Although he wont play. It will be King or Upson.

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

or carrager

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

Fair point, although is King 100%?

Rio only thirteen league appearances this season.

You will need to scroll to the foot of that page.

Let's hope if there are any more injuries its before thursday. After that it will be too late to call replacements won't it?

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

He is suposedly, he played the 90 minutes against Mexico then was left out against Japan to recover as Capello had already decided he was going, is what i read. I reckon Capello will play Upson alongside Terry, i must say i'd rather it be King if he's fit though.

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

I think you can call up a replacement for an injured* player up to 24 hours before the teams first match. So that would be Friday.

Rather than a striker who is listed as a goalie :)

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

just hope for england that there arent anymore injuries but would send heskey home as well

Re: Football World Cup 2010 - Pre Tournament start
 

I thought its 24 hours before the tournament starts as some teams start their campaign later than others.
