The only reason I see for playing Kruezer in the last few games is perhaps for the kids own confidence. He has been battered from pillar to post injury wise, he himself probably wants to get a few games under the belt and go into the preseason knowing he can still play the game and his body is right.
I can see the argument for playing him but it is definitely a two edged sword and a bit of a gamble. How well is he recovered and if he got injured again and it disrupted his preparation for next year that could be a major setback for him. Is that risk worth taking to get him back into things in our last couple of games this year which are non critical? I guess only he and the club know the answer to that.
