Yep. Strange as they had something about him returning to training in Sept so I'm assuming he has had some setbacks since.

I saw earlier that it's now 12 months that Aaron Ramsey has been out since injuring his knee.
He's apparently close to a return to full-on training after some complications.

Always remembered for the second goal in that QF against the Albion. Great occasion.

Done well for a lad who apparently isn't into football all that much.

Duran sent off today in 89th min for hitting an opponent on the head. Barely touched him but stupidity by Duran

I loved watching Duran bang them in for us as much as the next man, but always felt he was a problem waiting to happen.

So it was not without a slight tinge of schadenfreude that I watched the highlights this morning, complete with him being sent off!

I don't know what the management set up is like at his Saudi club, what the team environment is, but I doubt very much he's going to have as many people going out of their way to guide him and keep him on the right path. Ronaldo's reaction to the red card would have gotten a red card here, I'm sure. I can't see him putting an arm around Duran and keeping his head screwed on right.

I'm not sure what Ronaldo is so fucked off about, I assume just the bad acting as he could do shot by a sniper / leg snapped by a challenge histrionics really well.

Marvellous Nakamba started in Lutons defeat today, not doing too great this season

Not playing...but coaching

Elliot Parish was recently appointed Goalkeeping coach for Atlanta Utd

Shouldn't they have at least been included in a first team squad to qualify as an ex-Villa player? (Let alone the other non-qualifier you mentioned.)
