Thanks. God worried. He was taken off via stretcher and never came back on. So he actually had an injury. Would be a shame for the lad.

injury is nothing serious... he may be rested if coach feels he needs some time for rest

Thats good. Yep, he needs a rest. His first 10 games in I-League have been promising. Slow but good.
