FC Basel (a) pre-match thread

[aguerooo93]

I read we are bookies favourites in the CL. Is that true ?

Yeah, but a lot of that is because one of PSG & Madrid will knock the other out (they were the two pre-tournament favourites)

 

[wolfie1988]

Sané and Silva back in training today according to our mate José Alvarez

 

[razman]

Delph too !

So only Mendy and Jesus not there :)

 

[Ric]

Wow, that's a huge (and unexpected) boost if all three travel.

 

[kaz7]

Aymeric Laporte is also absent from training today. [@sistoney67]

That was unexpected

 

[wolfie1988]

Laporte has a passport issue apparently and can't travel

 

[Ric]

Relieved he's not injured, but shame that he can't travel.

 

[razman]

Oh shame really....hopefully otamendi stones/Kompany can cover

 

[zabisgod]

Full strength no doubt for this one. The likes of sane delph kompany etc to get minutes into the legs at Wigan ready for the final. Scary thought being almost full strength now for the final push.

 

[cadds92]

Silva plays if fit, but I think whilst Sane may get a 15 minute run out I doubt we will see Delph until Wigan.

 

[aka blue jambo]

Laporte has a passport issue apparently and can't travel

surely that is fxable

 

[Ric]

surely that is fxable

Drive him down to the passport office at Liverpool!

Should still be training though

Should still be training though

Rumours of MCL injury....it's a Twitter rumour ....so not reliable at all

We could do with a clean sheet tomorrow. I'd be hoping for a 0-2/0-3.

Ederson

Walker Stones Otamendi Danilo

Fernandinho

Bernardo KDB Silva Sterling

Kun



Then Wigan

Bravo

Danilo Kompany Laporte Delph

Gundogan

Bernardo Foden D.Silva Sane

Nemecha

Subs
Ederson Aguero Stones Diaz Yaya Sterling Zinchenko.


So basically we could rest - Ederson, Walker, Otamendi, Fernandinho, KDB, Sterling and Aguero and give Delph, Sane and Dave some valuable minutes to dust off the cobwebs before the Final.

We should send Kev away for 5 days after Basel. Nice rest and properly recharge before the run in.

I read we are bookies favourites in the CL. Is that true ?

Yes, although the winner of Real Madrid v PSG will probably be favourite at the quarter final stage, PSG were favourites and we were joint second favourites prior to the 2nd round draw.
