Patric Viera

[BLOOMUEN]

Not long been in from the game and can't see an obvious thread below, so what happened to Monsieur Viera?

Minor knee problem according to Mancini.

He failed a fitness test before the game. I'm always in my seat a good 40-45 mins before kick off. Normally, the 10 outfield players warm um together, with the subs elsewhere. But today, there were 11 outfield players warming up together as De Jong had joined them too, despite it being confirmed that he was on the bench. So it was clear that Vieira was a doubt even before the warm up, but they wanted to leave it as long as possible before deciding. As a contingency plan, De Jong did the full warm up that all the other starters go through. Vieira then disappeared down the tunnel after a decision was made. Not sure what the actual problem is though.
