8 missing from injury?

 

I know our record against them up there is strangely not to bad but can’t see us getting anything this time.

I think we’ll go similar to against PSG but as long as we don’t crumble and get a pasting then I think we can just say good to get this one out the way early with better looking fixtures coming up.

 

Sort of. I wouldn't count Solomon or Gil and I'm not sure about Bissouma, either.
I'd basically write Maddison off for the season, to be honest.
Kulusevski and Dragusin could be soon or months away. No idea. Mixed messages.

 

These training videos are normally a couple of days old, so I wouldn't look for anything new.
Interesting to see Solomon and Scarlett involved quite a lot.
Doesn't look like the former's injured and the latter could be a useful club-trained option.

 

They should be made to wear hair shirts. They are far too pampered.
