McGree and Silvera

None of the Scottish based players playing in these tournaments seem to have left yet, that includes Australia and Senegal.

Are the Aussie players from OZ actually playing in their league at present?

Yes the Australian league is played during their summer to avoid clashing with the Aussie Rules season ,
 
Looks like all the Australia players haven’t played this year for their club. Australia are playing Bahrain in a friendly on Sunday

Egypt play their first game in AFCON 14 Jan....Mo Salah played for Liverpool yesterday (01 Jan)

Japan play their first game in Asia Cup 14 Jan....Endo played for Liverpool yesterday (01 Jan)

Australia play their first game in Asia Cup 13 Jan....McGree and Silvera weren't in the squad for us yesterday (01 Jan)

So have we been shafted because of 1 day? 😭

When looking at players from other clubs continuing to play or leaving 24 hours later than ours it does look as though we've meekly 'rolled over'. It's not as though we're in a major injury crisisis is it? We've taken a couple of months to get McGree fit enough to play a couple of cameo's only to let Australia work him hard as a guaranteed starter for around a month. I get that we 'knew' it could happen but that doesn't explain how other clubs managed to retain their affected players and we did not. Goodness only knows what shape he'll return in.
 
If we miss out on playoffs by 3 points this subject will be talked about again. Those two players available versus Coventry could have made the difference.
 
There are 12 UK-based players in the Australia squad. All of their clubs played on January 1st or 2nd and NONE of those 12 players were involved in those games in any capacity. None played, none were on the bench.

Australia named their squad and their FA gave the date they were meeting up. That’s all there is to it. They have every right to call them up and have them arrive on the agreed date.

Endo and Salah were playing for Liverpool so that means their respective squads meet up slightly later. Maybe the Japanese FA decided to meet on the 2nd or 3rd or 4th. Same with Egypt.

This idea that it’s only Boro either being screwed or ‘rolling over’ is just complete nonsense.

Got to agree. We said we would release them on a given date and we did.

Really nothing to see.
 
McGree is a big miss especially given hes only just come back from injury. Silvera missing is a blessing, he's been absolute gash!
