As long as there's no aggravation of his injury, itll be good for him and us. Think it'll be a good 'pre-season' for him to come up back up to speed and be like a new £30m signing in jan for us.

No-one can be surprised. He is one of their top players and will be desperate to play for his country in what is a really important competition to them
Senegal and Morocco will go deep. Couple players to come back on a high sounds alright.
Not ideal, but there’s positive slants.
I was thinking the other day. Not seen Roy Keane on telly for ages and I'd be interested to see his views.
Bet he's impressed with Xhaka and all the lads .
Me lads travelling up the neet. I'd love to go. Even to sit in the pub but I'm on long term sick atm .

Get well soon marra.
Thought I’d seen Keane talking about Xhaka and had a search. Found this from September:
Keane said: “Sunderland’s recruitment has been very good, the goalkeeper has been good, they’ve got Xhaka with a bit of experience, they’ve got energy, and they’ve got quality. He brings you that little experience and quality, you’ve got young energy around you, I think they’ve got a great balance to their team.”
Also found this from Rooney:
Last month, Wayne Rooney described him as "the signing of the season" and suggested that Xhaka, 33, is like a "father figure" to the rest of the players in what is a young squad, setting an example for his teammates.

Hopefully three points tomorrow will cheer you up xx
Nothing at all mate and, believe me, I’ve tried.

At least hes not a nailed on starter for them, should help with managing his minutes while hes there.
That an epic journey fella. Hope you have a cracking weekend
Anyone else feel like they're at a loose end?
Can't concentrate ?
Roll on 2 o'clock tomorrow

Think if he had of been playing it would be a negative but because hes just coming back from injury he'll hopefully get his fitness back up there and then hit the ground running with us
Just have a feeling that when all the eyes are on the likes of Xhaka and Joe Linton, some dinky Enzo magic is going to win us the game.
Cheers Smug.
Was gonna come down anyway, but have reluctantly decided to tip with SKY with the sound off.

Can get out of my head that Rigg comes off the bench and scores
