One full training session ? He’s a professional athlete. He’d be in the gym / pool / weight room daily, even if his hip hurts.
They don’t give the players a sick note and tell them to go home, knock one or two out over Holly Willoughby and eat Ben and Jerry’s ice cream for lunch every day.
That said, maybe his hip really hurt and I am being unreasonable in thinking he would be treated like a professional and not a wall flower and would not be rocking up to training last week looking like Chunk from the Goonies. Bless him ( But then he rocked up unfit in August. Why expect any difference now ? )
I wish I had not mentioned Holly Willoughby and Ben and Jerry’s in the same sentence now - I won’t sleep tonight with excitement.
