The plot thickens… or is it the injury list?

News just got out Ruben Micael – Porto player and possible candidate to make the final 23 – got his foot broken during this morning’s training session and will undergo surgery. Carlos Queiroz’s list just got cut a little shorter.

The injury tally just keeps getting check-marks. To many names got scratched from our solution pool. Should we clap our hands together and pray it stops here?

One of the world’s best right-backs wears our jersey but will unfortunately not make South Africa. Yes I’m talking about José Bosingwa. Knee injury… scratched.
Also on this wretched tally is one top-notch winger called Silvestre Varela. Perhaps not one for the starting eleven, seeing we have Nani and Ronaldo, but a great option to have on the bench. Broke his leg… scratched.
On loan from Roma to Leixões we have an excellent left-back, one of my favorites actually. I already thought highly of him when he was still playing at the youth levels. His move was a sure step to allow him to get caught in Queiroz’s eyes. Muscle injury… scratched.
Ruben Micael is a promising midfielder. A valid option if you need to balance it towards the attack. Great vision. Great passing skills and a powerful kick to go with the package. As I stated in my previous post I felt he lost ground to Carlos Martins but he was still a valid option for Carlos Queiroz to consider. Broke his foot… scratched.

The only positive note is Pepe’s timely recovery. Positive if you consider his recovery but the injury itself might have a negative influence on his performance levels. Let us hope not. Let us hope this plot thickens no more!
