Trippier

[Zippity]

Has left the England camp to return home for 'personal' reasons.

Firstly, obviously I hope whatever it is resolves itself in a positive way for his sake.

After that, I wonder if it will affect his availability for us.

Heart in the mouth moment there re injury.

[Zippity]

No injury, apparently.

I hope it's just a "plausible" reason to get out England's unimportant games so he can concentrate on his Toon fitness, as well a getting a bit of well needed rest.

He does play too many games for his age and we can't afford any more injuries. Club before Country every time.

Agreed Zip.

Although, I hope Pat is right and it's a "plausible" reason to leave.

[toptoon]

Yes - I hope the personal matter is that he’s knackered and needs a rest.

[Zippity]

Tbh, I don't think that's a route Tripps would go down...I think he's too much of a professional.

Whatever the reason is, I think it's genuine, unfortunately.

Latest report from the club.

"Trippier's premature return to Newcastle isn't expected to keep him out of Saturday's clash with Chelsea at St James' Park."

Didnt want to start a new thread.

But I wonder are his recent performances was affected by whatever this “personal reason” is?

Also, some reports suggest that he may miss todays match.
But he isnt injured, right?

[Jammy89]

Starts on bench - maybe just needs a rest.
