tartofmidlothian Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Maybe a wee niggle or a bit of travel fatigue, I'd rather he was kept sharp for Sunday if there was any doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iantjambo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Probably just had an extended rest after playing for Japan. I’d expect him back in the squad for the Rangers game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

letsalldothebeattie Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Was at Tynie at the weekend seen him heading back round towards Wheatfield just after full time whistle blew.

tazhearts Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It will be interesting to see what happens to him at the end of the season. I would imagine Man City will be looking to loan him out again. We might be in with a shout of securing him for a second season. I suppose it depends how much game time he get between now and the end of the season (and if we are still in the SPL!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SectionDJambo Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Given what has been going on with injuries to players after international games, it’s wise to make sure he is 100% ok. Long flights have serious effects on muscles which need time to recover. Another long trip to Dingwall probably wasn’t a good idea so soon after. I’m assuming he was left in Edinburgh.

VALDOS' Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 It's not clear what Man City long term goal is with guys like him, same can be said about alot of the EPL sides. Realistically he will probably never kick a ball for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reasonable comparison if your work involves high intensity physical effort and being in peak physical and mental condition. If not, no comparison. I can say that as a 51 yo in similar state!!

My mate used to play at a fairly low level, but had played for Shrewsbury round about the time they had older pros like Mickey Thomas known for Wales and Man U. I used to take the view how hard can it be, he put me straight in no uncertain terms, what the step up was from the under 18s to the reserves, let alone the full team and the impact it would have on your body. I suppose it works 2 ways, the players are fitter than they were back in my muckers day, but now they are expected to do so much more in a game, running let alone body challenges. Having played 3 games for Japan, then coming back to the UK I guess Hearts may have preferred the travel to be on Saturday and the home game last night for Ryo, I'm sure he will be back in on Sunday and Washington will take a seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mc2607 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 Doubt it was anything to do with fatigue or jet lag - he's 21 FFS; he should have bounced off that plane and back into training the next day without any trouble. Maybe he just hasn't earned his place back yet since Moore and Henderson came in and had a couple of really good games while he was away.
