England "do not risk players" and captain Harry Kane "has not had an injury", says manager Gareth Southgate.

[Who’s our next manager?]

Southgate is a fool. Kane might not have an injury but if he has muscle fatigue and he plays he could risk injury.
He’s got a ‘duty of care’ the plank.

This would be the Southgate who played Trippier in a meaningless 3/4 playoff despite the guy being carried off in his previous game. No doubt Trippier conspired in this decision, but a responsible manger would have sent him home. Trippier wasn't right for the whole of the following season.

Southgate is an extremely irresponsible and selfish manager.

Sorry but have you read the article? He seems to be quite responsibly saying that they look to take care of players and Harry was rested because of muscle fatigue and carries no injury. Whats so controversial?

Also I am not English but I think Southgate has done a remarkably good job. His teams generally play good football, he gives youth a chance, he’s tactically flexible, he’s not afraid of taking tough calls and dropping people when not performing; and he articulates his decision making rationale in the right forums clearly and comprehensively. Plus he doesn’t shag FA secretaries. All in all a very good job

I think this is what Jose is seeking to prevent, Southgate did not deny this, he said he had trust in his medical staff. The idea of giving someone several local anaesthetic injections to get through a friendly is extremely irresponsible. Also its Phil fucking Jones not Messi!

Have you read the article? He has muscle fatigue and is he still suffers from it he could risk injury.

Who on earth would be so desperate for Phil Jones to play? One of the worst defenders in the Premiership.

I think those injections were directly into his brain...

The medical staff reasoned that there was a 75% chance he'd actually play better.

True story.

No - I'm answering the headline "Gareth Southgate says 'we do not risk players'". It was a general statement implying an on going professionalism and responsibility that would see kane treated fairly.

I've given an example of this not being true. If someone wants to offer any inside information about the trippier incident, that throws southgate in better light, then I'm all ears.

The potential controversy is if Kane cannot play most the game against wham due to ongoing fatigue or injury.

To this day they’re not sure

You be the judge...
