So was Lamela injured for a year or benched as you’ve accused Toby of being benched when he was, in fact, injured
Toby played for Belgium.......did Lamela play for Argentina in the time he was said to still be injured?
Then he recovered but suffered a further setback
Thats been made up today to suit an argument because the person who made it up cant bring themselves to criticise Poch for dumping Toby from the squad.
Again, he played a game for Belgium. There was no set back between the time he was declared fit and played the two FA Cup games, up to the Brighton game.
“I feel good. I feel fit. I’m strong. I feel ready to give 100 per cent again, like I always do. I worked very hard to come back to the training group as quickly as possible. Not one thing in my head is doubting about the injury."
”Now it’s up to me to prove that I’m ready again to the manager. It’s always up to the manager (if I play). I’m looking forward to give my all on the pitch.”
Toby on Jan 23
He then didnt play until Feb 7 against Newport, then Feb 18 against Rochdale
His next game for us was this wk end gone, nearly two months to the day.
He did however play for Belgium on March 27th, slap bang in the middle of the period he was dropped for Spurs.
So when was this recurrence of the injury? Between Feb 18-March 27? Or March 27-April 17 (Brighton).
If the latter, its pretty weird he made fitness, and got himself picked in three weeks.
And if the former, he did well to convince his International manager there was no fitness issue, as stated by Martinez, and get himself picked to play.
Pochettino said on Feb 12 he couldnt face Juve as it was too early.
Thats over 2 months ago. Since then there has not been a single article or mention of Toby being out of the squad due to a second injury. He had a set back in December, way before he was ever declared fit.
Its incredible that people are making up fake news, as if it cant simply all be proven as bullshit by a simple google search of the actual facts.
