Cougar:

hargo's hamstring was inevitable. this lad hasn't played in 2 years. the chances of him getting hamstrung is 95%. michael owen missed playing for 5 weeks and got hamstrung in his first training session. i am positive hargo will play again as long as it's not his knees that got troubled. players get hamstrung every now and then. it's part and parcel of the game.

I see you point as Hargreaves' four-minute misery underlines the susceptibility of players to niggling, relatively-minor injuries after a prolonged period on the sidelines. Given that so many of these sort of injuries seem to occur in matches rather than training, it's presumable that the stress of making a comeback is the tip that turns vulnerability into setback. But on the bold point,quite whether Sir Alex will adopt a sympathetic outlook is questionable, though. His description of Hargreaves' "disastrous" outing made without a single word of compassion would suggest that it will be a long time before he trusts in Hargreaves again. And, maybe, ever considering that his contract is up at the end of the season.
It is a shame.decent pro, on and off the pitch it seems.
