Schmidt to @SatSportRTE on Carbery: The good news is there's no fracture because we've had him x-rayed but there is a bit of swelling, we'll let that go down over the next 24 hours. It's too soon to say, but I don't think it's going to keep him out of the World Cup.

@jimbeglin Jim, doesn't a very experienced defender like Luiz know full well that if he cuts across the back of an attacker going at speed there is a big chance of contact, which at that pace causes the clip and trip. That it's not a lunge or kick is irrelevant. Ref knew this, #VAR too
