so you think that Hughton over-ruled the doctors

or that the doctors mis-read the extent of the injury?

Or, perhaps more likely, that they decided on the evidence available that he was able to play a few minutes. Footballers are very rarely ever at 100% fitness - they always carry some niggles. I read somewhere that on average clubs in La Liga last season used 140 cortisone injections on their players.
