Any chance of playing on Saturday against Stoke City.? The Liverpool midfielder was forced off with ten minutes left of Saturday's 2-2 draw with the Czech Republic at Hampden Park. The Scottish FA have now confirmed Adam will miss tomorrow night's game, posting 'Charlie Adam definitely out. http://www.liverpoolfc.tv/news/latest-news/adam-out-of-scots-qualifier
He was also posted missing between the hours of 3 and 5pm on Saturday. Hi limped off after abour 75 minutes though
If I were Adam, I would have taken myself off the pitch as there is no point in trying to play international football with 10 other useless players - the majority of which have a deluded opinion of their own abilities.
If hes DEFINITELY out v Lithuania I would be surprised if he makes Stoke It may not be a bad thing(though Id rather him be fit),bcause I think we will need RUNNERS in midfield v Stoke Id like to see Suarez Kuyt Downing Hendo Lucas Bellamy v Stoke although Kenny could start Spearing( for Adam ) or Carroll
My exact thoughts. The energy and enthusiasm of both Lucas and Spearing will disrupt Stoke and allow Suarez, Kuyt and Downing to do their job. I think if Adam was playing, Stoke would quickly close him down and prevent his play.
If Spearing and Lucas were a permanent fixture in the centre of midfield I think my name would be 'Spucas'.
He's got a hip flexor strain so shouldnt be out too long, they reckon will prob miss Stoke but may be back for 10th... Having investigations now
He will PROB miss Stoke but MAY be back... Makes sense to me... Depends how bad the strain is when he's scanned and if it tightens up or if he's able to train
Sorry for not replying earlier lads. He had an OK game, at best. Played out of position though, he was almost sitting in between the midfield and defence, which doesn't suit him. He hasn't done it for Scotland yet
Steven Naismith, Darren Fletcher, Charlie Adam, Scott Brown, James Morrison. Charlie was made to sit too deep and try to spray 40 yard cross field balls all game
Cheers for the update would like to have him back for the Stoke game but we have cover for him so maybe it's best not to rush him back and the injury coming back worse
