League to restart 17th June.

Few minute clips of the friendly yesterday. Nice to see Luke Thomas and Matty James get game time, Ndidi with a goal was amusing to see

Just seen this on twitter:

 Wonder who is playing RB for the blue team - looks like Choudhury to me? Something we could see in games if Justin can't play every time? 

I recall he came on as a sub late in the 4-5 end of season game at Wembley a couple years ago there. He didn’t look comfortable but then again it was a big stage and defences looked poor.

Yeah I remember him coming on a couple of times at RB under Puel (?). Wasn't particularly convinced by him playing there, hope we don't have to rely on him in games.

Didn't he play RB after Albrighton got sent off away at Palace when they hammered us?

 

Kapi wearing number 33? Nearly scored a ripper

[jmono84]

I haven’t realised how much I’ve missed my team play until after watching that clip! I could have quite comfortably watched the entire 90mins!! Who would I route for tho 😂😂

Is it just me is there no sign of Gray?

He was definitely there around the 1 min mark and about 2:22 

[Foxin_Mad]

Hope he is not infecting the squad with coronavirus

[Hales]

Kinda exciting to see them back in the kit! 

[urban.spaceman]

The more his hair grows the more he really does become him.

Would be odd to leave him out when Kapi is playing... I thought an injury, self isolating, or some other personal reason? The Mercury says he was seen pitchside though. Possible he came on/off at some point, and just happened to not be included in the meagre 3 mins worth of slo-mo video.

Matty James spitting on the pitch at 0:51

He was there on the sidelines? I didnt see him playing though.

Doesn't mean much but thought it might be interesting to work out each team:

 

Blue:

Schmeichel

Choudhury Evans Soyuncu Fuchs

Ndidi

James Maddison

Albrighton Vardy Barnes

 

Thomas on for Fuchs at some point.

 

Black:

Ward

Justin Morgan Bennett Chilwell

Mendy

Praet Tielemans

Gray Iheanacho Kapustka

 

As others have noted, only absentee apart from the injured Ricardo and Amartey appears to be Perez.

Hamza at right back brings back nightmares.

Bit harsh that the blue team only had 10 players...

[Ric Flair]

Kapi to get added to the 25 man squad and turn his Leicester career around would about make this last 3 months tolerable. 

[Webbo]

Has there been any rule changes so that we're not restricted to just the 25 man squad plus youth teamers?

Not yet - no. Would expect the relegation threatened clubs to resist as villa would be the main beneficiaries... (Heaton and Wesley)

So if anything the training game has taught us the barbers need to reopen

 

No worries for Hamza though.  If you saw a difference, your eyes are sharper than mine.

[Guest foxestalkisfullofidiots]

Poor attendance yesterday, cancel the stadium expansion 

[jeffschlupp]

I'd be surprised if they didn't temporarily lift the 25 man squad rule, allowing us to play Kapustka. For what it's worth, we could've registered him anyway but didn't (we named 24 seniors given Justin is an U21).

 

It appears only Johansson, Daley-Campbell, Gyamfi, Thomas and Hirst are training with the seniors, which makes a 29 man squad if Ricardo and Amartey play no part as expected.

 

I assume that means the PL have told clubs they can use a maximum of about 30 players given they can only test 60 people in total for COVID. The rest will probably still have to train at home now that the U23 season has been binned.
