Just because Valimaki isn't limping doesn't mean he is ready to go. Normal walking may be fine for him, but strenuous activity may hamper his ability to play. They are also in a good position where they don't have to rush him back into the lineup. Get him to 100% instead of 80% before putting him back into the lineup. Don't create the potential for future injury problems by rushing him.
