Gio to Join up With Mexico Despite Injury

Last updated : 23 March 2009 By Site Editor
The 19 year old, on loan from Tottenham until the end of the season, was forced to limp off half way through the first half in the Championship clash at the weekend, and it was thought he would not travel.

However Mexico have decided they would like to make the final call, as Town physio Matt Byard told the club website: "Gio has a groin strain on his left side.

"The Tottenham medical team have spoken to the Mexico national side and they want to take a look at Gio themselves so he is flying back there to be assessed."
