I have a hunch that that is what is going to happen today. It would be a good way for MP to assess his level as a viable, if temporary, back-up for Aleks before the trip to Sevilla. Since the squad is only one deep at both LB and RB at the moment we need better cover than untried EDS palyers or repurposed wingers or CBs.he may get some gametime off the bench in suitable situations.

I can see your thinking there but I think MP is just too conservative to go with Maffeo, certainly not with almost no first team/senior football under his belt. MP has followed a conservative approach with using youth players, e.g. friendly appearances leading to 5 minutes, then 10, etc. My gut is telling me that Angelino has jumped to the front of the queue thanks to his first team experience in NY.Unless he has made a sudden improvement since I last saw him, I wouldn't want to see Angelino playing fullback v Seville. Left mid, at a stretch, but not fullback. I would rather see Maffeo play right back & Sagna play on the left, if we were desperate.

Do they not have Google Search where you live?Has he, Manu garcia and Pablo Maffeo been called up to the Spain youth teams?
You would imagine that I tried to, but I didn't find anything :) :(. Not a single hint of them being called-up on the OS of their federation also. But I've seen it on twitter that they are "representatives" of u19 and u17 spain national teams. And, finally, I simpky want to find them in this list. I mean they're our top youngsters and they are obviously good enough for u17 and u19 squads (if not for u19 then for u18, that's for sure)!Do they not have Google Search where you live?

None of them have been called up since leaving Spain, as seems typical of their youth systems. Even Hector Bellerin has only just got back into their youth set-up at u21 level after being Arsenal's first choice RB for a year.You would imagine that I tried to, but I didn't find anything :) :(.
