MIGUEL ALMIRON - PARAGUAY
Thursday, October 9th (h) Peru (World Cup Qualifier) - 2-2 Draw
This was a brutal match. Which is why in my option, South American World Cup Qualifying is a must watch. Almiron was running throughout the pitch all match as expected. He took a nasty elbow and later, got hurt and was stretchered off in extra time of the 2nd half. Not sure if the injury will lead to a sustained absence or not.

RYAN FRASER - SCOTLAND

JEFF HENDRICK - IRELAND
Thursday, October 8th (a) Slovakia (EURO Qualifiers) - 0-0 (4-2 pens) Loss
Hendrick started and completed the entire 120 minute match for Ireland. Unfortunately he wasn’t asked to help the team in the Penalty shootout in which Ireland missed 2 of them and are now out of the EUROs. Good, steady performance for Hendrick.

JAMAL LEWIS - NORTHERN IRELAND
Thursday, October 8th (a) Bosnia (EURO Qualifiers) 1-1 (4-3 Pens) Win
A big penalty shoot-out win for Northern Ireland! Jamal started and completed the full 120 minutes, but just like Hendrick, he wasn’t asked to take a penalty. It didn’t matter though as Northern Ireland won and moved 1 match away from a EURO spot. Jamal seemed to control his side of the pitch and it was a solid, composed performance for him.
