And lastly from Flying Kiwis. Bugger for Tuiloma (calf strain), but might open AWs door for Musa and/or Kyle Adams if available for the AWs games in March.
Bill Tuiloma (Portland Timbers) – Erm, not good news. Terrible news in fact. Tui was likely to be battling to earn a starting CB spot for the Timbers after his efforts in 2019 but that quest has been put on hold for a little while thanks to injury. Two months out with a muscle problem. He’ll most likely miss the All Whites games in March now too, guts. Still, of all the other fellas he’s the most established so it ain’t like he’ll be cast aside now. Tuiloma signed a multi-year extension with the club back in December.
