Yaya will play because he is going to ACON afterwards and the only reason he hasn't joined up with the Ivory Coast team now is because he has been given permission to play in this game.
I was hoping maybe to see one EDS player in the first 11 and maybe two on the bench. Personally I don't think it would be a big gamble. All we know is Bersant Celina is in the squad as he tweeted it, which leads me to believe he is the only one has I haven't seen tweets from any other EDS player.
Anyway, I will be going and cheering on the team, even if I have had a moan about the omission of some EDS youngsters for this game.
Well it would be short sighted to play yaya even if he's going off to the acon. If he gets a bad injury in the game to keep him out if the season, doesn't matter if he is going away to Africa or not. It will be a disaster. Hopefully MP has the sense to risk him as little as possible, maybe play a half or as a sub if needed.
And agree about the youngsters. Hope to see some of them in action with the first team.
