Wow, 46 caps for England? Trippier’s been solid for us, Hope he’s back soon. We’ll miss his defense skills for sure.
England’s already through, so not a huge loss for the squad. But Trippier’s experience is always a plus on the field.
So, Trippier’s out for the big game huh? wonder what the “personal matter” is.. hope its nothing too serious tho!
typical, just when we need him against Chelsea, he’s gotta bail. Not good for us, but family first, right?
