Guessing -
Freddie’s in with the physio on Sat/Sun. Says he can’t train because of his knock. If he can’t train on Sunday he can’t play on Monday (is Adams’ interpretation.... he certainly can’t be part of the prep for the match, which takes place during training) Therefore Adams reluctantly withdraws him from matchday squad.
Freddie is anxious that ‘ruling himself out’ sounds as though he doesn’t want to play, to his Twitter followers, rather than the fact that he has a knock. He’s reassuring fans that he had no choice but to speak to the physio about his injury.
No major drama here. Just a reminder of how crucial Freddie is to our team.
Adams might also now might see a way of benefiting from this situation. If Accrington are unsure he’ll be fit, it makes their preparations harder. Thus, it is in Argyle’s interests to fan the flames of doubt. Freddie appearing at the reserve game with lots of wrapping, padding and ice on the injury etc helps do exactly this.
Let’s just hope he can play on Saturday!
