PSG have been hit with an outbreak of H1N1 virus, that is spreading amongst top sporting figures in France. Their match with Marseille was called off today.

Still no sign of Henry in the Barca squad, if he doesnt make next wkds games theres a good chance he'll miss the playoff. Fingers crossed.
Missed their game last night, still injured from milan defeat.
FIFA would no doubt postpone the playoffs if too many in the French squad got itQuote:

article from today's Herald about the lack of depth in striking options, also mentions that Ribery, Benzema and Henry are doubts for the French: http://www.herald.ie/sport/soccer/st...e-1924630.htmlQuote:
Noel Hunt is out for a few weeks with a knee problem
If Nunt, Folan and Best are all out then Trap seriously needs to be considering Clint for backup. Since it'd only leave Doyle, Keane and Long from the last squad and you realistically want 5 strikers.
Though knowing trap it'll be stokes and hmm...I don't know for the last spot, don't see him calling up Murphy either.
Duff is starting to hit some form so only a matter of time now before he gets injured again.
Well, even with all those injuries, we will have Keane, Doyle, Long, and Keogh, so Trap may not feel the need to add in Clint. I'd have him in myself though.Quote:

It doesn't matter which striker sits on the bench for us, we only have 2 strikers who are capable of playing to the required standard and who can win the game for us.
Lets hope they are fit to play all the 2 x 90 minutes.
you'll probably have to change the sheets the following morning if you do, Worm.

Any opportunities for Irish lads to take out some more French before the play-offs e.g Anelka, Gallas etc. ? :eek:

I doubt either Gallas or Anelka would be starting for them with a clean bill of health.
Henry back on the bench = We're screwed.
Henry didn't come off the bench, but this means he will more than likely be fit for the play offs
Anelka was excellent today against Bolton. So whoever plays upfront for France will be good. Lets hope we can get at their two central defenders and score a goal or two.
Why do you doubt that, when this is the team that started their last game :confused:Quote:

Bummer for Arsenal. Valuable player for them.
Doesn't matter. Evra is their left back.
oshea should do the right thing....
And injure evra in training.
lads, even tho he may not have started, this is still a good thing. could be another injury or a suspension that would have brought him into contention.
also sows another seed of doubt in french minds.
ok, maybe i'm clutching at straws, but its hard not to get swept up in the excitable fervour created by this going green campaign....
... another 30 or so injuries and we have a chance of beating the froggies.
