His instagram story is a video of him at the gym with the caption ‘They thought I was on holiday. Guess what, I’m not’ I’m not normally one for reading too much into social media posts but that suggests he’s fit for Sunday
That suggests he's been reading some of the comments about himself too!
It will be interesting how serious his injury actually is, did Bowyer decide that rather than risk him for the semi, that it would be better for Igor to have a longer break.

Cracking news. He should keep himself fit but with this being the last game of the season I think he means the same thing!
You know what, I really like Igor. He would need to take a pay cut but he seems likeable and fits in well, would definitely keep him.
I'd start Parker and make a sub at HT to phsyche them out.
If he's fit Igor has to start. Was starting to form a partnership with Taylor. Even when Parker has played ok that wasn't the case for him and Taylor. Plus Igor is more likely to score.

Could be a double bluff, bowyer making Sunderland waste time preparing to face him
Be a good boost to have both Igor & Reeves back in the matchday squad....so the bench doesn't consist of the likes of Page & Forster Caskey who haven't played all year (& have basically been making up the numbers whilst we had injuries).
Expect Sunderland will have McGeady in their squad. We need our players to also put their bodies on the line for this one.....which they usually do.
Igor was in the changing room after the game jumping up and down to “twist and shout”
Fingers crossed he’ll be back
We have missed him badly. Parker is willing but really has zero quality
He doesn’t have zero quality.....that’s insultingly OTT. He does have some.......just not as much as Igor.
We’ll agree to disagree; by the way, I don’t dislike Parker at all. He’s put in an amazing shift in the last three games
Yes, he has indeed put in a shift.. No doubting his work ethic. Due to the cock up ( Not our fault) in the January Transfer window, he has been cast in a role that is not natural to him. He is not a striker. But he is working his backside off for the team. His back flick for Aribo to score v. Rochdale was excellent. I would love to see him nod in the winner at Wembley. And then we add a couple more, just to ease the heart rate, of course.
From what Steve Gallen said in January he sees Parker as a striker:
"I always knew Josh as a number 9, running in behind. He’s been playing as a 10 at times for Gillingham, in the whole at the top of the diamond and also a left winger. We’ve looked for someone who is a bit versatile and we’ll continue to look for another attacking player to complement that."
If Igor’s fit he has to start we were so dangerous against Luton with him and Taylor up top. Parker as fresh legs against tired legs will actually make him look capable.
He isn’t going to start but would be surprised if he isn’t on the bench. Maybe it’s Igor himself who doesn’t want to risk anything.
Hes probably going to be without a club in a few weeks and the last thing he will want is a couple of months out and the inability to pass a medical when clubs are forming their squads.
We're probably paying his significant wages until end of June. So if told to play he should get his finger out - plus who doesn't want to play on the Wembley turf?

Believe it when he's on the pitch
Solly sat out longer between his red card at Oxford on 19th April and the second leg last Friday (17th)
