Is Riise available on Sunday?

[FC Silver Fox]

Anyone know if Riise has recovered from injury and is available for selection?

If so, will be be prefered to Matthew Briggs who has had a great couple of games ?

[ImperialWhite]

Depending on where Ruiz fits, wouldn't it be nice to have Briggs/Riise doing the old switcheroo routine down the left flank? I assume it was a pre-season experimental thing, but I liked the look of it. Confusing as hell for fullbacks.

I read a match report indicating he played for Norway so barring a re-injury, he should be available for selection unless Jol wants to be cautious and rest him

[elgreenio]

yes, he played 60mins for Norway on Tuesday.

Really need a win so would prefer to see Riise at left back

[helgell]

He played for Norway against Denmark on Tuesday, so he should be fit again. He was taken off after ca 60 mins but I think that was a tactical sub.

[ClarksOriginal]

Well Ruiz plays on the right wing so he can cut in on his left, so I think Riise + Brissy in that combo could work well. But I've got a sneaky feeling Jol will prefer Riise + Duff

Or is Duff injured

[stevehawkinslidingtackle]

Hope he is. Thought he was a bargain for the Sun dream team, and am waiting for a few sledge hammers to fly in soon .

[Holders]

Duff and Bryan with Bobby in the middle supported by Dempsey would be a very exciting forward combination

[cebu]

Good news everybody.

Jol's pre-match comments on the offal indicate that BZ and all the players who were on international duty (like JAR) will be available.
