Our injuries and covid protocols are so bad that we're not playing a no.9 today. Why is no one talking about that??

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

He’s not sadly. Either injured or covid. He’d be on the bench if it was rotation.

Missed that and happy to be corrected. Ta.

 

[Cellarite]

Or Steffen, Carson, Ake, Jesus, Kayky, Mbete & Palmer

He hasn’t left them out as a punishment though.

 

[Chi-town blues]

Negative from Pep, only 5 attackers on the bench.

Hahhaha

 

[pudge]

We have another game in 3 days and a game 3 days after that, can't play our best XI in every game.

Given Leicester's line up, this might be the easiest game of the lot.

Whilst I understand that, it's the not knowing part with regards injuries/absences.

If it's simply a rest for Rodri I'd rather he be on the bench and not need to come on. Whereas now it's "Is it the yellow cards, an injury, covid?" etc

Bigger concerns to have I know.

 

[OccupiedPalestineBlues]

He is not on the bench

And thanks also for your 2nd reminder .

Rodri’s on the bench because if an accumulation of yellow cards. The totting up stops after today so he’s fully available for Brentford and he can play from the bench today if we want to risk him getting a yellow and a 1 game ban.

Leicester are generally fast up front, but not with their line-up today.

Ah, makes sense!

I wasn't aware Pep had made a statement to that effect today?

That's a rhetorical question by the way.
