Are players just supposed to stay home if they’re injured?
Didn’t realise it was written into the contract that he’s not allowed to go and see a charity game if he’s injured?
Players have lives outside of the pitch and we all have our opinions on how they should be but they don’t have to conform to whatever standard you apply.
He might not be fit enough to play top level football (the difference between match fitness in a PL game and what the rest of us consider fitness is huge remember) but he could easily walk and certainly sit down on a plane or watch a charity match.
You’re angry because he’s not living up to what you want which clouds your view, that’s not logic, it’s just emotion. And don’t get me wrong, I think he’s a cancer and we should get rid to save ourselves all this fuss but there are rational reasons for everything that’s happening with him lately that don’t include him just taking the piss.
A lot of professional athletes pull out of events due to injury - how many times do you see it in football testimonials, it’s actually called being a professional.
