My main concern is Saka, Zinchenko, Xhaka, Odegaard or Partey going away and getting injured on international duty. Trossard as well.
The others won’t play very much or have been left out.
The rest of the squad are going to get a nice break. Fantastic that Jesus, Martinelli and Gabriel get a big rest. ESR will also get more time to find 100% fitness.
Looking forward to some knockout european football at the proper fucking time tonight. Its been ages. Seeing as our last European campaign was behind closed doors
That’s a proper team, expected though. I think by this point it’s pretty clear Mikel prefers being competitive over rotation. Not enough games left in the season to try and be too cute tonight.
At the very least even if you do slip up at least you know you put your strongest foot forward
