If City have recalled McGuinness, why is he playing an FA Cup tie for Sheffield Wednesday? Is there an obvious answer I’m missing?

I'm assuming they don't think him being cup tied is going to be an issue

It seems very odd that City would allow him to run the risk of injury while playing in an FA Cup tie for Sheffield when the club is reportedly short of players for tomorrow.

Re: FA Cup games this weekend

From what I’ve read, I assumed he was back with us full stop. Obviously not, he’s still with Sheffield Wednesday. Are we writing off the cup, having him back next week and saving a week’s wages, admirably frugal if so:facepalm:

:hehe: Wasn't he cup tied before today?

He started Round 1 against Morcombe and came on in Round 2 against Mansfield.

Fully tied up?

I suspect it was some kind of administrative error when loan deal was initially drawn up, which would be par for the course.

So it seems. But why allow him to risk injury if he’s being recalled?

That is a better question.

I suspect a combination of slow decision making, about the recall and wanting to keep McGuinness sweet by letting him play against a Premier League team in a goodbye to Wednesday fans.
