Dreams of Jozy: Dashed?

Although it seemed so certain on Monday that Jozy would feature, there are rumblings that the strikers at Villarreal are mystically healing.  VillarrealUSA reports:

“Rossi and Angel were pulled out of practice on Wednesday, both experiencing some discomfort (the bad news).  The good news is that they are both expected to be ready to go on Sunday against Deportivo La Coruna…”

and also:

“The strikeforce has recovered a bit leading up to this weekend’s clash with Deportivo.  Guille Franco looks to have recovered from his knee inflamation, and could be ready to go on Sunday”

And just like that, Jozy slides further down the depth chart.  Oh well, we can still hope that the manager will reward him with SOME first team minutes after his hat trick last week.  But as these reports seep out, that hope seems more and more desperate.

So close, yet so far.
