Following our 2-0 win against Luton, Regis Le Bris stated that he decided not to include Ian Poveda in the matchday squad for ‘internal reasons’. He also has no worries about Rigg after coming off, instead he thinks it was just fatigue.
POVEDA DROPPED FOR INTERNAL REASONS
“Ian wasn't available for selection. Ian isn't injured. He wasn't available for selection for internal reasons. I don't have to comment on that reason. At the end he wasn't available. Hopefully, he will be able to return to Monday.”
NO INJURY FOR RIGG
“I think Riggy was just tired. He's okay. It was also good news to have Jenson back in the squad after a long, long injury - he was ready.”
MEPHAM UNDERSTOOD RLB’S DECISION
“I wouldn't say it was a difficult conversation with Chris because all the players know that we have a good squad and a good team. We have depth in different positions and for me, this is the rules of the level.”
COMPETITION FOR POSITIONS IS GOOD
“Players need competition to push themselves and this helps the team. It is better to have three or four good central defenders to be able to perform over the course of the season. These are the conditions we want to consider.”
