Is this going to go on all season, I hope not:- Sunderland defender John O'Shea is to return to Wearside from the club's training camp in Germany after being ruled out of the remainder of the tour through injury. The 30-year-old Republic of Ireland international will head back to England on Wednesday after tweaking a muscle during his debut for the club against Arminia Bielefeld on Sunday.
Have we got a jinx on injuries? Surely it can't happen again! If it goes on, early pre-season looks like we will need to sign another 9 player's, just to cover.
We've got two injuries already with Shane Ferguson and Danny Guthrie after one pre-season match. Guthrie is out for 6-8 weeks and no news on Ferguson yet though he was sent for x-rays. What is it about the NE and injuries as both clubs suffered badly last season!
Aah tiger balm, I love that stuff, bought some in Malaysia a few years ago and got addicted to the smell of it, it's a beautiful smell.
