A neat story, and no bull. One has to hope the injury is only a graze or some udder kine of minor ailment. If not the team is on the horns of a dilemma and cud be a flop at the weekend and may even get relegated to a lower division. If he returns he might steer them to a great victory by hoofing the ball upfield; otherwise the team might be cowed and suffer a heifer defeat.
You have to milk these punning opportunities if you want to avoid being put out to grass.
