Looks like Garbs will be number 1 left-back then if he's been given number 3.

Mail with a brief guide to each of the England team
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...down-young-hopes-Jack-Butland-Harry-Kane.html
Stones, Everton, 21 (11 caps) – The Rolls-Royce of the team, his reading of the game and ability stand out a mile
Everton, 22 (8 caps) – With Luke Shaw missing, the left back spot is his. Provides craft and energy.

What a horrible thing to wish on one of our nicest players.

Umm, seriously, he has a head injury...

i know, poor lad will be gutted as he almost certainly have to miss at least the first two qualifing matches if the concussion is confirmed, they usually recommend a week without games/training.

What an odd thing to decree someone you havnt met as.

Yes I would refer him as son as possible, hope England he smashed as a result.

You don't think wishing an injury to a player, let alone one of our own is odd?

 

[49ers]

Good goal by Can to be fair

1 game down!

 

[The Mighty Quint]

As if he has to miss two games automatically, I mean how bad was it?

Shame for the lad, he'd have played every game.

If it is concussion then any further impact on that same part of the brain can have much worse effects that the initial knock and head injuries are not uncommon for CBs. They are doing the right thing for John by resting him, wish they would follow the medical guidlines in more instances tbh.

When Walsh was knocked out in the first 5 mins of the Dallas cup the poor lad missed our entire competition. Awful for him but better than suffering long term health effects.
