I bet it was not really any injury, just a precaution since the game was irrelevant for him. Forced the other guys to find solutions without him. The pregames have shown that the rest of the NT is way too fast to revert into “hey, find Lauri!” mode. The game against Latvia was horrible, but there were a few bright spots and it taught a lot about the young guys. Mainly that they are just not ready for bigger minutes.
