00:00Was Roquio just not ready to stir as he had a setback last few days?
00:04Yeah, setback-ish. Listen, he'll be fine, but I could tell he wasn't right.
00:11Listen, credit to him, he was desperate to play and he's not had anything like this before.
00:15But muscle injuries, if you're not 100%, they're not going to get better during a game.
00:20And I could see he wasn't 100%, but he was adamant before the game.
00:25Couldn't feel anything, but now he understands what I'm saying.
00:28If it had been his ankle he'd rolled, a dead leg, a kick, you can run through them,
00:32you can play through them if you're comfortable with the pain.
00:35He realises now that he was restricted a little bit when he got on the pitch.
00:40So then it's an easy one for me to make the call.
00:43If he'd have played today, he gets worse, so he wasn't playing.
