Which players are unavailable?

 

Maddison, Soyuncu, Justin, Kasper, Ricardo, Fuchs, Youri, Praet, Castagne...any im forgetting? And what is the deal with Evans? Surely he'd still play some pre season?

Evans is with NI.

The Benkovic situation really pisses me off

Croatia are playing today (i think) maybe he has gone along with them? 

[AKCJ]

Result of the incredibly thick international scheduling.

 

Perez should be starting given hes not played much and is likely to play next week.

[MPH]

Well i never thoughts id ever see N’Didi, Mendy and Hamza in the same team... Top trolling  there Rodgers..

But still with the squad. Only pulled out of the game the other day. May be available for Monday's game.

I just feel like so many attacks break down when Ndidi has the ball. 

 

He's outstanding at breaking down opposition attacks, mind. There was quite a few occasions last season where he'd win the ball only to give it straight back to the opposition.

And so it’s better to put him even closer to our goal area? 

[Simoken]

Taggarts waffling, wake me up when yes done.

The start of the PL season is going to be a complete lottery, I think. Could be some very strange results, given the lack of prep that teams have had.

Totally agree, sounds daft but im not feeling as excited about the start of the new season with such a quick turn around

[Sly]

Wales - Ward

England - Justin

Belgium - Tielemans, Praet, Castigne, Eppiah

Denmark - Kasper

Turkey - Cags

 

Out - Evans

Ward, Evans, Benkovic, Rennie

[1972 Fox]

Even SFE/Rennie wouldn't have been able to predict or leak this team in advance!

[StanSP]

Kolo can't be far from a start surely.
