INTERNATIONAL CASUALTIES

Norwegian newspaper VG reports that Ole turned up in Ireland
to be examined by the doctor and then return to Manchester
with a knee injury. However Thor Einar Andersen, the doctor
in question, does not think that the injury is serious and
expects Ole to be fit for the match on Saturday.

Meanwhile Quinton has upset his national coach, Shakes
Mashaba, by dropping out of South Africa’s friendly with
Jamaica. He has pulled out as the last minute with a hip
injury. Mashaba said:

"If I have 11 players and reserves on the bench, people must
expect results. People must be aware that you are not
winning games because of who is in the team, it is about
what you can do for your country. I leave Quinton's problem
to the public to judge and make a decision."
