I believe it’s likely to return next Friday …….

shame as he’d like to play at st Mary’s 

I'm sure he would like to play but the two CB's that are playing are easily ahead of him. Faes & Okoli are playing well  & don't deserve to be dropped so that Vesty can play at St Marys.

It’s nice our defense is working now and we have competent options on the bench. I’ll just point out that the way Vesty handled himself, his not too experienced colleagues and Spain’s attack was close to world class.

Frankly I wonder if the clubs is being run on sentimental guidelines

Leicester City star sent home early from international duty
In a boost to City, the Dane will get a break before the trip to Southampton this weekend after interim boss Lars Knudsen made the decision to send him back to the club early

Victor Kristiansen should be well rested ahead of Leicester City’s trip to Southampton this Saturday (3pm kick-off) with the left-back granted an early return from international duty.

Kristiansen, Steve Cooper’s first-choice on the left side of defence so far this season, has been sent home by Denmark’s interim boss Lars Knudsen following the 1-0 Nations League defeat to Spain on Saturday evening. Kristiansen was booked in the match and is therefore suspended for Tuesday’s game against Switzerland. Rather than keep him around, Knudsen is ensuring the player gets a break.

“They (Kristiansen and fellow suspended player Morten Hjulmand) travel home, get some rest and get ready for what awaits in their clubs,” Knudsen, the former City set-piece coach, said. “In a program where there are a lot of matches and pressure, I think it's good for them to have a mental break once in a while.

 

“They probably have to deal with the physical, but mentally it's really healthy to get a breather. It's good for them to have a break.”

The City defender had a tough outing on Saturday, playing 90 minutes at wing-back and facing perhaps the game’s most talented teenager in Lamine Yamal. Reports from Denmark suggested Kristiansen struggled, but he did put in a few crunching challenges on the Barcelona winger, letting him know he was in for a difficult evening too.

Kristiansen said: “It's just going up and saying: ‘Hey, I'm in the fight too. I'm not afraid of you.’ You may have a tendency to back off a player like that a lot, but when you get the opportunity to make a good fair duel that might hurt a little, then it's about seizing it.

 

 

“It is always difficult to define success when you are faced with a skilful winger. You can win all duels for 89 minutes, and then he can score at the end, and then it will be the same.

“Spain made it easier for me by letting Pedro Porro overlap so we could release Yamal and I could take over his (Porro’s) runs. So I wasn't into that clear one-on-one situation that much.

“He is a skilled, skilled player and he is really, really good at a young age. He will be one of the best players for many years.”

Whether he had been sent home early or not, Kristiansen would have been expected to start against the Saints in what is a crucial match at the bottom of the table this weekend. The 21-year-old has played nearly every minute in the Premier League this season, with the Dane and James Justin occupying the full-back slots, keeping Ricardo Pereira out of the side.

This is getting weird, hopefully things can be worked out and all of the players get home safely.

utterly bizarre situation. Apparently the Libyan team were diverted when they played nigeria in the other leg, they claimed it was on purpose. So they have now sent them 230km away :jawdrop:

Souttar just about to start for Australia against Japan in a really important match. I don’t think Australia have ever beaten them away from home and I’m not sure if they can qualify for the World Cup if they lose.
