However, it now looks as if everything might not be completely okay, as the decision has now been made to send Pedro back home to London for “further review” of the concussion as well as what’s being called “facial injuries”.

Instead of re-joining the rest of the squad who had flown to Singapore after Saturday’s match, Pedro is now out for the rest of the pre-season Tour of Asia.
