Good lad. Is the modern day ‘precaution’ something that wouldn’t have been questioned 10 years ago and players would have just played on. Feel like Prowsey is quite happy to get on with it where some players are told by the people around them not to risk it unless they are 100%. Guess he wasn’t in the starting line up tonight so the decision was made for him but fully expect him to start against Burnley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustinSFC Posted 31 March, 2021 Share Posted 31 March, 2021 If Prowse isn't genuinely fitness impeded and he's returned to us because Ralph has leant on him, then he is a fucking idiot and probably just spaffed his chances of going to the euros. I know some of you will be saying "but...but.... That means he's nice and fresh for Burnley"...etc But I genuinely would have liked to have seen him go to the tournament.

He's shown what he can do , if he's not 100% and probs wasn't going to start he's best off coming back to saints . Now without him in the squad I'm hoping for a Poland clean sheet! Will probably flick over to the Scotland game more than once too , How Armstrong doesn't start every game for them I'll never know her far better than all of those players starting ahead of him .

He'll be a Liverpool player by the time the Euros comes around anyway then we'd have to hear commentators calling him "Liverpool's Ward-Prowse" 😁😜😈 Seriously I'd love a Saint in the England squad but I don't think he'd get much game time. Maybe a late sub to whip balls in or a reliable penalty taker. I like W-P but I don't think he's first XI material. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No way would he return if he didn't have a minor knock, it would have only been a few more hours and time on the bench for England. Hopefully he's fine, good that Armstrong is on the bench for Scotland as he struggles with too many games. Just need Adams and Bednarek to avoid injury.
