Historically, has Pep tended to give regular starters two weeks off early/mid season? For example, I would have thought he wanted Dias for Chelsea. We probably don’t need him for YB, but if he doesn’t start that is two weeks without a game. Is this something Pep normally does? For players that tend to rotate (eg Doku/Grealish, Ake/Gvardiol), does starting mid week mean they’re less likely to start on the weekend (with a Tuesday/Sunday schedule this is less of concern I assume, but I’m curious looking forward)? Or do you find it’s game by game and if that could mean a player plays four games in 10 days and then has a longer break?
