Or at least we assume thats the case, as he didnt mention Bailey as an injury concern during the presser (where he did mention Traore and others). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBlack Posted August 24, 2021 Share Posted August 24, 2021 As it stands Jamaica aren't on the red list so wouldn't be exempt from playing in their home qualifiers... looks like we'll be without him for a fair while at this rate, unless the rumoured changes to red list countries happen soon.

El-Reacho Posted August 25, 2021 Share Posted August 25, 2021 Quote Leon Bailey’s long road to Aston Villa via Slovakia and a cold Austrian park The £30m striker had a remarkable route into the professional game but it has given him the mental strength to succeed https://www.theguardian.com/football/2021/aug/25/leon-bailey-aston-villa-via-slovakia-and-a-cold-austrian-park Good article about Leon and his family in the Guardian today. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t really understand any of this traffic light nonsense, but if they have to isolate on return they won’t be going. I guarantee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She said that traffic lights were just a suggestion. The main problem was, most of the rest of the nutters on the road over there thought the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

est1874 Posted August 28, 2021 Share Posted August 28, 2021 I mean, he's never scored anywhere near 25 goals in a single season so I'm not sure where that expectation is coming from. Craig Butler seems like a bit of a Character really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
