Did Juvhel Tsoumou refuse to play?

Before the game we were told that we had "no injuries or suspensions" and had a "full squad to pick from". Then Tsoumou was left out against Hereford. Given that the big fella had scored in the last game this was unexpected and him not even making the bench even more so. I've seen since that he has a "tweak" but will be fine for Monday. I'm always suspicious when players with strong christian beliefs, and Tsoumou was giving it the full Born Again bit in the last match programme, unexpectedly don't play on Good Friday. Fallon did exactly the same up at Dagenham last year. I reckon Tsoumou refused to play.

From what I can recall Fallon's religious beliefs meant he refused to play every Tuesday and Saturday.

Nothing against that if that's what happened. The bloke clearly has strong beliefs and they probably should be respected. Didn't Jimmy Abdou have a thing about playing during Ramadan or something?

If it's true, I'm just relieved that there's at least one person at Home Park with a bit of Faith.

Abdou was just not picked by Holloway as he was respecting ramadan and Ollie thought it would weaken him......
