Sorry, I’d forgotten about Mendy’s suspension but I’d have reservations picking him anyway. It could be a blessing in disguise.Zinchenko will play against Real since Mendy is banned.
I appreciate your general point. Rhythm is needed indeed but also to avoid injuries to key players. One of Stones and Ota should be ready for it is probably naive to think we can reach the final playing Garcia and Laporte all the time. Injuries, fatigue, cards may force the use of other CBs.
Zin’s looked sub-standard of late. I’d like to see Cancelo trialled properly at left back. We were told he could play there when we bought him. He hasn’t excelled there so far but, then again, he’s had precious little time in any position.
I accept there may be some reason we don’t know about why he’s been cold-shouldered.
