Everton (A) FA Cup QF | Pre-Match Thread

[jimharri]

The South Americans for sure ... so Ferna, Ederson, Jesus, Aguero ... Not sure if Pep will follow through on his threat earlier where he said whoever will need to isolate on return will not be going ... let's see next week what happens.

Not sure any of the remaining players will be travelling to "red zone" countries. Is Germany classed as red zone?

Portugal is ... and I think Germany depends where they're playing their games ... reason Liverpool and us have had to play both legs of R16 ties in Hungary plus heard Dortmund has barred the English kid to join with England squad as well so there is something there.

I guess we'll only have clarity by the weekend.

That's why I was wondering about Germany. Was unaware of Portugal's status, to be honest.

Portugal removed from list now I think

That won't have any bearing on the Everton game. Players won't be joining up with their countries until possibly monday.

I think it will
If you think about the last international break, Gundogan played three FULL matches for Germany. If it's likely that any player is anticipated to be in the same situation, then Pep won't play them this weekend, as the player would be playing four full games in two weeks and will come back knackered
If the player isn't going on international duty, then they're getting two weeks rest after the Everton game, so if the player is considered to be one of our best eleven (example Cancelo) then even if they played in the CL, there is no issue in selecting the player vs Everton with a break afterwards

Fair point.

Portugal have moved their home game to Italy to avoid red list issues

I can't see Bernardo playing on the wings for us anymore, Pep has only played him in central positions for a while.
