If I recall

He took a tweak / knock in the last 10 mins at Plymouth. The bench couldn't get him off quick enough knowing that if he worsened the injury the sale could be in doubt. I'm not sure that he was injured against Watford but he could have been.

He was NOT injured when we played West Ham though, and that is why I dislike him.
