Have you seen a direct quote for that, I've been searching rules & regs on Google and can't find a definitive answer.

I thought it was a 7 day protocol? Think he will be saved for Saturday

That COULD be just domestic games although I'm leaning towards agreement with you.

I'm sure we'll have enough to win but he would benefit from some match minutes in his legs.

he`ll no doubt still be full training etc so keeping fit and i imagine its just the FA regs so he`ll be fine for Newcastle game, we`ll defo need him!

Not going pal. Do all the aways but taking me and my 2 sons to Istanbul has left me skint. Give the Blues a shout for me. Will City have much support from local Greeks?

Yes , there are 2 fan clubs at Greece, lot of Blues who had difficulty to travel at Manchester , waiting for days like this.

Me , my son and my nephew will shout for you and your sons.

I thought it was a 10-day protocol.

Either way, he's unlikely to feature. I doubt he'll be training during that period either (other than some light gym work maybe).

no mate but there is a guy on instagram called fanzonebtmir who looks like he may work for the club with some of the posts he does as its from inside the club gym, offices etc? He posted that Stones and Dias still arent available for wednesday and Ruben is still due to the concussion he sustained last week as a precaution?

He wont be with the club long if he is broadcasting that sort of information, surely, unless the club want the information out. Hmm .....

fa rules say, and i think eufa is the same, unless its changed recently(but i cant find anything)

• The physical activity ‘steps’ of rehabilitation should follow this protocol.
  
  a) No activity
  b) Light aerobic exercise
  c) Sports specific exercise
  d) Non-contact training drills
  e) Full contact practice
  f) Return to play
  
  Each of these steps takes at least one day
• The player should not be allowed to return to play for at least 6 days after the injury (it often takes longer than this) and in strict accordance with the return to play guidelines (above). This will include a return to baseline of the SCAT 3, or web-based, neuro-psychological criteria. A baseline profile will be available from the pre-season assessment.
• The player should be examined, and receive the ‘all clear’ from the club medical officer before returning to play.
• If progression back to full fitness is delayed in any way, urgent specialist advice should be sought for further assessment.
• Any player who has suffered two or more concussive episodes during a season should be discussed with a suitably qualified neurological specialist prior to return to play.

How long since he suffered the concussion now?

 

[Sir peace frog]

How long since he suffered the concussion now?

I really want to win this, which is silly because it's a bit of a nonsense having a "Super Cup" against a team that won the lower tier competition. But, still as it's one we've never won I would like it.

Newcastle at the weekend will be tough. They were probably the most impressive team this weekend against a Villa side who will have a good season. Full of energy, full of quality and ruthless. What better way to prepare than a midweek game in the heat over in Greece!
