Douglas isn't riding elsewhere to be fair.
Clearly Emil has been told not to travel by his Polish team, I suspect having a meeting Sunday and Monday then Thursday and Friday would be difficult in his current position. Footballers do it all the time, When KDB came back from Injury for city last year Pep Initially said he wasn't fit to play two games in a week, so i guess its the same for Emil, he's just about fit enough to ride Sunday and Friday but his body wont take another two meetings in-between. Not everything in life is black and white.
