They've had several behind closed doors friendlies as well. Gundogan mentioned them when he played 80 minutes on his return.
Amazing how so many people know better than doctors on here whenever anyone gets injured. It's obvious for everyone to see the lengths the club has gone to in attempting to get Vinny fit and stay fit. You think they'd go to the lengths of monitoring his blood after training for signs of inflammation but then get caught out by playing him for too long?
Behind closed door Friendlies don't replicate matches either.... It was clearly a silly risk to take, in a match that was won, with Tosin on the bench who needs some minutes. the proof suggests they did play him too long as he didn't finish the match. Voids your argument somewhat no?
