Two weeks off will hopefully give a few players a chance to recover. For once an international break is greatly received as we are beginning to run out of bodies.

Remember that what I read was that he had a hairline fracture. Usually a very light cast is placed on an arm for a fracture where the bone has not been displaced. The rules on the other hand forbid the use of casts so then I totally understand why he can't play. I realize that footy is not American football and to be honest, a different type of athlete plays the American game. Much bulkier and and physically stronger. Still I found it frustrating because I cannot get over the way players played the game 15 to 20 years ago and beyond. I appreciate you clearing that up for me and thus ending the controversy that I started. And JB I also respect your point greatly. To be honest, a few years back a good friend of mine fractured his cheek bone playing basketball when he received a rather flagrant elbow. Two days later his face was very swollen and balack and blue while his eye was bloodshot. John Terry's face didn't look all that bad although I could tell there was a depression in his cheek at the time of the injury. Still, I wouldn't put the tactics you talk about past Chelsea because they are very astute at gamesmanship. I still do be believe however that Terry is a real gamer because he does seem tough as nails, to me any anyway. I am writing this right after United's victory against Wigan and I am concerned about all our injuries today, especially Vidic. He had quite a bit of swelling on his cheek. I hope he didn't fracture it. I kind of think he didn't because it didn't look depressed, but then again, it still could be a fracture. Apparently he was seeing stars so I am worried. And yet again Balsa Boy Saha gets injured again before the match even started. Enough already!!! Thanks Millz for pointing out the rules to me because I suspected that the very same thing.
