Exactly. That makes much too much sense though...
Leave him out of the match against Forest entirely. Give him 20/25 minutes against Blackburn.
I'd have him in the match squad for Wolves away (1 Oct), but given their reputation I wouldn't consider bringing him on.
With a few reserve matches (or friendlies) under his belt during International week he would ideally be able to start against Spurs on October 16.
Why do you think you know his fitness levels better than himself and our medical team? He's obviously ready to play a part today, yet you claim it's "ideal" for his first start to come in almost a months time? Remember, he's been back here in full training for two weeks already.
You're almost as tedious with this as James is with his "Both Santon and Jonas are right footed, it can't work ".
