Is anyone bothered ? He hasn't been a part of this year and probably won't play a relevant factor even if he was fit.

I was and still am hoping he can be a factor for us. We're short of options at that defensive holding midfield position, it's basically just Blind. Really miss Carrick's forward passing and defensive presence in front of the back four. A blow if he is out for long.

I'm not so much bothered about him in particular, more so that we're averaging over a player a week in injuries.
 
Absolute stupidity to join up with the england squad after two games back


Exactly.
How the bloody hell did he get called up!?

At least he's got best part of 2 weeks until the next game
 
He should retire from England.

It's not like they pick him for the important stuff anyway.
 
This just blows. I thought England was super happy with Stevie Me playing the holding role recently, unlucky for us Hodgson decided to use his head for once.

Just to take the edge off that stat it works out at over 3 injuries per competitive match... Wait...

Slippy Steve retired after the World Cup :(

In fact it's all his fault when you think about it...
 
I think he's being smart. He doesn't want to risk getting an injury so he is saying he is 'injured' to not play. That's right, I've decided to take the optimistic approach.

I think this as well, he most likely wouldn't of started anyways, so hes better off just going back to Manchester and training there with the other players who are coming back from injury.
(Now waiting to hear the reports hes out for the rest of the season).
 
Happy because now Woy will play Gerrard as a holding midfielder instead of Carrick against us (Slovenia). I just hope it is really minor and he will be fit for Arsenal game.

Gerrard has retired from England!
 


Sounds like he felt a tingle up his scrotum and decided to have it away on his toes sharpish before it turned into an actual injury, now he can get his nuts massaged at Carrington for 2 weeks and be ready for the Arsenal game.
 
Hopefully it's a fake injury so he can avoid sitting on the bench

I have to think this is it, a a bogus injury scare to deprive Roy of the pleasure of seeing Carrick rot on the England bench.

Different manager of course, but didn't you Brits repeatedly overlook Scholes for England duty?
 
Did United hire Arsenal's medical team for this season?
We've actually only been slightly better than you on the injury front in recent years, it just seems this season we've gotten as bad. :(

Spot on
 
So he's fit for Arsenal then. Who cares about anything else? At his age, I think missing international duty is a good thing.

'Hopefully' fit anyway. You would have thought he might consider this a warning of the risks of international football at his age.
 
Hopefully the Carrick injury is a "united player injured just before mid season international game" injury.

Not overlooked. Just wasted in favour of inferior players.

One hell of a scrotum that. And to think he has won so much throughout his career despite this disability. Respect.
