TBF two good teams involved in that semifinal.
As a young lad I was slightly gutted Wolves couldn't see off spuds, they had a decent side then too

I don't see Rodri starting. I wonder if he's even training yet? I'd guess Ake and Foden start.

It's a bit random, but there's A LOT of competition in the backline. Even more so with Lewis's start to the season. Stones and Walker are currently looking in from the outside.

Rodri still not involved in training.

Savinho has trained as normal with the rest of the group.

Are they just giving him extra time off, or is he injured?

Scenes on Saturday if / when the Gundog appears…

 

[M23 Citizen]

Are they just giving him extra time off, or is he injured?

He has been carrying a hamstring injury since the quarters of the Euros. He did play through the pain in the quarters but asked to come off in the semis but ended up staying on. Then he came off at half time in the final.

Pep said last Friday, ‘He didn't train. I didn't see him yet. I think he feels good, but we will see when he starts to move his body how he feels’.

I’m sure he’ll mention the progress in this Friday’s press conference.

I wouldn’t risk it for Saturday, he’s already been risked by Spain so may as well give him another week.
