ankle balance ball counts difficult fans fine guide head hit mobility normal resting sick spread talking tired using
I'm sick of all these injuries, tired of talking about them as well. My ankle will be taped very well. My mobility won't be a normal 100 percent, but I can see and hit the ball perfectly. I won't be using my spread that much. At this stage, it is important to find the right balance between resting and training. In my head I feel fine and that is what counts the most. I take it the fans will guide me through more difficult moments.
injured players sure
I'm sure all the players that are injured are going to be there.
