UPDATED SUNDAY 7th Sept "LATEST ON MATS DAEHLI'S INJURY "'

Mats Dæhli is training for first time today since the England match. He says he still gets a pain in the Knee, but I can see it will be better day by day now,and he hopes to play Italy on tuesday even with some pain.

My Personal Opinion He should not play this week.

You can understand matts wanting to play against Italy. You can also understand Norway wanting him to play. I agree though as a Cardiff city fan he should 100% def not play.

If it was bale though we would be saying f**k it he should play

This is where we need the Fergie approach - You're not fit enough son.

Usually I would be selfish just for our Club, but if I am honest reading so far what he has been saying, I would rest him for Norwich game as well

If he can't kick a ball and he's in pain he shouldn't bloody well play. Really stupid. It will hardly help us will it - the one who pays his wages.

Spot on.

If that´s the case on Tuesday, he obviously won´t play. But I believe he can kick a ball already, otherwise he wouldn´t be in full training already today. The nature of his injure also suggests that there´s not much risk for him playing; he´s just a bit sore after a kick on his knee and it really doesn´t sound like something that could develop into a more serious injure.

(Then I pray this is not just wishful thinking )

I hope he plays, because that's what he wants to do.
Every interview is just dripping with pride to play for Norway, honestly that is extremely refreshing given that a third of our most often used players could have been playing for Albania or Marocco or some other country instead, but chose Norway just because we were bad enough that they might get game time.

As for what's best for Cardiff, obviously it's that he doesn't play, but I don't remember my company having any say when I got called up to the air force. Country comes first.
