ON Rafael
"Rafael
did a bit of jogging this morning. Hopefully he will
be able to be ready for tomorrow but I am not sure
about it."
"There is a little doubt and it is not something I
want to be risking in a major game. He really has to
do something special tomorrow morning to change my
mind about it." |
