So get over there and see what we're doing. Welcome to Toffee TV. It is The Daily Extra. We're talking about internationals. The international break. Last one for a while alone. Last one for a while. Guilfee Sigarton has pulled out of the Iceland games and Andre Gomez has pulled out of his retain to the Portuguese national side. Now, are you worried at all about these withdrawals? No. I mean, it's not good because obviously you want your players fully fit, don't you? But obviously we're going in. It's felt kindly, really, as much as we all hate it. It's felt probably kindly with these two. Certainly for Sigarton. I believe Gomez isn't too bad. So it'll literally just be a bit of treatment and he'll be alright. Guilfee doesn't think he know yet because he's had to have a scan just to make sure. So it'll give him a couple of weeks to get back hopefully in time for the card of game. Hopefully there's no lasting damage. And so if there'd been a normal Saturday, you know, a normal Premier League fixes either probably or certainly Guilfee would have missed Saturday's game, obviously. So it's felt okay, but it's still one of them. I think it's still... International's I hate anyway. I hate them having to go away. But if you're going to pick up these injuries that might keep you out for a game or so, then it's handy that it falls around the time of the international break. So, you know, at worst case scenario, they missed one game in three weeks. But best case is that did he cover in time for our next game which is obviously Cardiff at all. Yeah, I think the big problem is you don't really want to be going into this time of the year sort of carry and players. Do you know what I mean? Like, so if you go into this period and you are, if you've got players in your squad who not saying need a rest, but you have to put something off, like, you know, you hear of players having putting off operations and playing through the pain and things like that. And I think the problem with that is they're never fully up to speed, are they? They're never fully engaged. And if you've got a game every, like, three days or something, that's really tough. I mean, it's not like that state where obviously we've got Cardiff and then we've got Liverpool following Saturday, but then it's Newcastle and then it's Man City and the games will come thick and fast. So it probably never want to pick up injuries, but you hope that certainly for Sigarton, whatever it is, it can be dealt with. And if it takes two weeks to deal with it, or even if it takes three weeks to deal with it, hopefully it'll be dealt with because you don't, again, you don't want to be going into a week, the week before where you're trying to, you know, work on things with the team and you've got a player who's a little bit of a doubt because you want the player who's coming into, if there's a player coming into the place, I mean, he needs to be bang at it as well. So I'm hoping that, obviously, Guilfee and Gomez can get through that, can get through it. Guilfee with the boot, as you said, he'll need a scan, maybe just swelling on it. Because he played on it, don't forget. He played and that's what he did when he got picked up the injury against Crystal Palace, which kept them out for the whole of the end of the season. You know, he played on it. This is a lad who don't know what it is. Maybe it's just the adrenaline and he gets them through games, but that's not necessarily a good thing if it's causing more damage. So we'll have to wait and see, but as you said, sometimes it can be, it can be for the best. Certainly, again, they've gone away. They're not going away. They're not playing. They're not, I don't, I mean, I've got it. I think that there's, some teams have got two Europe, two European UEFA Nations League games. Some have got one and a friendly. So I don't think it's the worst thing in the world. I don't think that Iceland are going to be too worried that he's not playing for them in these two games. Probably wouldn't have been any reluctance. And it's probably exactly the same with Portugal. It's not the be all and end all. The European qualifying for Champions doesn't startle. I think it's March. So it's not the end of the world. So I don't think that, certainly for Gomez, like you've mentioned, it's not, well, they're out. So therefore, it's, you know, it's a bad one. I think that the national teams will be sympathetic. Saying they didn't think Gomez was going to be massively involved. You might have just gone, we brought you in because you've been playing well. But, you know, if you've got enough, doesn't matter. Go back, get yourself sorted, have a bit of a rest and be ready to go for your next game. And hopefully that's the case. Yeah, I mean, what you're hoping for with these is that they are just precautionary. Guilfee's one, obviously, is much more long, not long, I don't want to say long term, there's more concern over Guilfee. I mean, Well, you could see it. Well, you can see the challenge, the impact of the, I mean, Sky Sports, but a thing of saying, unknown knock. The challenge by Georgino was terrible. So you've seen the impact of that. He rolls his ankle. So hopefully that's just the strain, the swelling on it. And with a couple of weeks treatment, he's fine. You know, it's nothing too serious. But you rightly said, when he done his knee in against Crystal Palace, and he done that quite early in that game, he ended up playing the majority of the game. If not all of the game, he finished the game, didn't he? And then was out in the same again then for the rest of the season. Now whether that was because there was a whale cup coming up. So he missed the last two games of the season, say that he might have played in. But he was still out for six or seven weeks. So it's something that you've got to be wary of.
