Hi Ed.

Since Couts has been "injured" would the club be entitled to not release him for international duty with Brazil?

Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - (1) He hasn't been injured, and (2) Then they could demand he travel and be assessed by the Brazilian team medical staff which could be incredibly embarrassing for the club.}

Why would that be embarrassing Ed, I think it would embarrass pipco more as he would be seen as a liar. Maybe he actually is injured haha and we all saying bad things about him lol.

{Ed002's Note - If you don't understand there is no point explaining.}

It'd be more embarrassing for the player who's been claiming injury than the club.

{Ed002's Note - OK.}

Unless you're saying he's not injured or ill (as we all suspect) and that it's just how the club are spinning it rather than something that's coming from the player. E. g. He's saying he won't and the club have come out in the media saying he's injured rather than his refusal or he's pretending he's injured. So basically he goes to Brazil they confirm he's not injured and it's us who's been lying to the media rather than the player lying to the club- that could seem embarrassing I guess.

{Ed002's Note - The player has not made himself available to be picked or for training and the club do not want this played out in public - although there are idiots here who want him to make some interview to embarrass the player - but they have zero understanding of the matter. The club want the whole matter resolved behind closed doors and are starting to feel the impact of the stupid and unprofessional way they, and particularly Klopp, has dealt with transfers this summer.}

Think you guys are missing the point our medical team and club has been going a long with his story. Am I right ed2.

{Ed002's Note - The club do nnot wish to discuss this publically.}

The point being that the club has said he is injured. Not the player. He had made himself unavailable for selection as he wants to move to Barcelona. So if he plays for Brazil and not us you can see where his motives lie.

He may just choose to party with Costa and not come back.

Surely if he Plays for Brazil, it will show a complete lack of respect to LFC and the fans who indirectly pay his huge salary,

This makes the club look worse to the outside world.
IMO.

Anyway thanks for answering the original post Ed.

{Ed002's Note - When is the Brazil game?}
