IMO there are two important games, potentially 3, left in our season and we need JV to play as many minutes as possible in these games.
I would be tempted to start him tonight and hope he can play the full 90 and score. Hopefully he is then fit enough to play the the full 90 / 120 next week and score again and we go through to the final. The problem with this approach is the amount of hope involved.
If he starts tonight and is forced off with an injury and misses the second leg then that will be the biggest disaster of all.
I am glad I am not making the decision.
