Guidetti (at Celtic)

[FantasyIreland]

Is he ever going to get a break??
--------------------------------------------
Less than a week after signing a loan deal with Celtic, John Guidetti‘s debut may be in doubt after he went down with a foot injury in Sweden Under-21 training.

Swedish website DN.Sport broke the news today and it’s bound to worry Hoops fans who are looking for the Manchester City striker to kick-start their season.

Guidetti, 22, is on national duty with the Sweden Under-21 side and is understood to have picked up the injury during training today.

They are set to face Turkey in a qualifier on Tuesday but the striker’s place in that game looks in serious doubt.

He scored a stunning free-kick in Sweden’s 3-0 win over Greece on Friday night.

How can he be on duty with the U-21 Side when he is 22?

I think he's got quite enough injury woes without needing a break or a fracture.

Didn't Milner play for England u21s when he was 23?

Joleon Lescott (32) is to play in an U21 friendly against Hull tomorrow. This is to test his fitness after suffering an injury in pre-season.

Obviously because his age met the criteria at the time when the qualification started.

Think you're allowed 3 players over the age of 21.

You can have upto 3 over 21 year old in that competition though iirc

Aren't U-21 sides allowed to field a limited number of ''over-age'' players?

Not internationally, though if you're 21 or under at the time qualification for a particular tournament starts you're eligible until that tournament finishes
