It'd be a bit of an anti-climax if he doesn't play and come out all fired up.
Sometimes you have to save players from themselves.
I've got no doubt he wants to be out there and will try his butt off to contribute as best he can.
I've also go not doubt that he is not 100%.
Then its a question of how close to it is he....and will that % mean he will be able to contribute more than a fully fit and in form player who would be desperate to prove himself, like Dow is.
I don't care if it hurts his feelings. Do whats best for the team.
