Players now regularly take to social media with their own cryptic – or sometimes not so- comments on their fitness, match preparation and appetite for training: [West Ham](https://www.claretandhugh.info/west-ham-opinion-why-survival-must-come-before-fa-cup-glory/) have several who are avid instagram users, **Crysencio Summerville** amongst them. The Dutch winger frequently teases his many followers with fitness updates such as his recent post with training images, suggesting he’s good to go for the quarter final.
**Dinos Mavropanos** however, has taken the award for the most cryptic. After being forced off from Greece’s first game with a head injury and sitting out their second as a ‘precautionary measure’, the giant Greek who was feared to be in a concussion- protocol has posted a single word update on his fitness – which is more notable for what it doesn’t say.
the Big Greek’s insta post includes just one word: _**“Back”**_
The lack of associated training images, _‘raring to go’_ or _‘looking forward to tomorrow’_ comments, along with the downbeat, sober manner of his photo is either a masterpiece of misdirection or more likely a resignation that Konstantinos Mavropanos isn’t getting his kit on tomorrow.
Which means the West Ham community will be crossing their fingers and toes that **Jean Clair Todibo** is fit to start in his stead.
