Castagne straight back in the side is another risk. What's the rush. 

Because Thomas is knackered 

[Staff]

4 defenders on the bench? Lol 

[whoareyaaa]

Strong team, Eriksen to score.. think we will win this 3-1

[Chloe_77]

Maybe Wesley has caught that illness bug that our other players have had? 

[urban.spaceman]

Hoping Fofana is just being rested as a precaution. He played 80 minutes in his first game back and we've got an international break coming up for him to work on his fitness. No point risking him IMO

[turlo]

Hopefully Fofana is just being rested as a precaution - he looked completely knackered when he came off on Thursday and was suffering from cramp etc. Good to see Castagne, Evans, Soumare and Daka back in the squad

[majaco]

Potentially a good taking into account the players we have missing.

 

Hopefully, Fofana is being sensibly rested as he is eased back.

 

Evans on the bench.

Fofana was always going to be a phased return. BR said that the other week. Perfect chance to get some fitness under his belt for the next two weeks. 

[StanSP]

Just seen Eriksen isn't even playing for them...

Think he's out with Covid

[He aint bald]

Good team considering injuries and fatigue factors.

I worry about KDH, a lot of running in the last two weeks even for a whipper snapper.

Stop fretting about Fofana, Evans needs 20 minutes to prepare for N Ireland games

[coolhandfox]

Pretty sure if Soyuncu was fit midweek Fofana wouldn't have started

great!

[TrentFox]

Is it odd that I look forward to the team being announced with greater anticipation than I do for kick-off? 🤔

[Ric Flair]

Good to see our fans taking a leaf out of BT's books with their Eriksen predictions.

[frakenfox]

I always enjoy watching Papy Mendy.

If it's what I've had recently it's enough to knock you out for a solid week. Not that I'd wish it on anybody, but between that and him being crocked again, I'd rather he had the lurgie. 

[FosseSpark]

Strong team.

I presume Fofana and Lookman being saved for next week. Still 10 or so games where we might see our full strength line upon the pitch. Which will be amazing.

[moore_94]

Hopefully Fofana given the day off after the effort he put in on Thursday, and gives a chance for Evans to be in the matchday squad

 

Think it was also said on Thursday that Lookman was a bit ill?

I've currently got gastro flu since Thursday and I'm in no man's land. Horrid

Knowing our luck he'd still bloody manage it

We have no game next week.

[Ric Flair]

Got very little creative options from the bench if we're struggling. Need a couple of early goals.
