Congratulations to all the Albion lads off to represent their countries this week:
In amongst the good news though, (great to see JPVH get his call up), there's a couple I'm uncomfortable with.
Pervis Estupinan has barely kicked a ball in months, and would far rather he was getting up to speed here, than flying off to Brazil and Peru.
Evan Ferguson is the other worry - he's been out for months, is barely back training, and you just know that the Irish are going to start him in back to back physical games against England and Greece
Quite a lot of travel involved too, for Kaoru (to Japan and Bahrain), Adingra (Ivory Coast / Chad), Minteh (Comoros / Gambia), Baleba (Cameroon / Zimbabwe), Lamptey (Ghana / Nigeria) and Enciso (Uruguay / Paraguay) - but you can't sign players from such far flung nations, without accepting that as inevitable.
for a successful, injury free International break, for all.
