Manchester United’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 in a friendly, as the duo seem to have minor setbacks, which will rule them out of action for the coming week.
Following his return from a long term injury, Cleverley was believed to finally be set to reach his true potential. However, the player’s hopes of making the England squad were cut short as he picked up a foot injury in United’s game against Ajax.
The midfielder has been ruled out for another two weeks, but it is still not certain as to when the player will finally be match fit again. As a result, he had to be dropped from the England squad in order to create space for other players.
At the same time, United’s striking sensation http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749 in the upcoming friendly.
Both Cleverley and Rooney missed out on United’s win over Norwich City this past weekend and as a result it seems very unlikely for either player to be fit in time for the match against Holland.
Stuart Pearce has been taken back by the sudden drop in the number of players who are fit and ready to represent the country and the temporary manager is bound to consider his options for the upcoming game.
It is still quite unclear whether the manager is going to go on and name replacements for the squad, or if he is going to opt to field his team without the maximum number of players allowed to make the team.
Many have questioned the manager’s decisions over the players that he had initially selected, but these injuries could pave the way for the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Alex-c4752 Oxlade-Chamberlain to make their way into the England squad, after being left out
from the initial squad listings.
Nonetheless, it is now going to be a wait to see just what Pearce decides to do, looking at the options ahead of him and whether he decides to make any changes to his squad or not.
