now we have qualified it will be, the club rightly saw getting through the group as a priority, fringe players and kids for the last 2 games, I wouldn't even send Kasper, Evans, Tielemans or Vardy tell them to have a couple of days offWe now have the players to make 11 changes for this game and the Athens match. Both games are a perfect opportunity to start with Ricardo, Soyuncu and Ndidi as well as giving a game to the back up mob.
9 games in 29 days coming up and, just in time, we might have a squad to be able to handle it - if it is used.
didn't consider Castagne as I assumed he'd be involved Monday as he was set to be involved against LiverpoolWard

Be great to have Ndidi, Castagne and Soyuncu on the bench if they aren’t ready. If they are all should play.
Good tactic MA. Confuse them with the old “12 men on the pitch and hope they don’t notice” routineWard

True, but we can do that at home against AEK Athens. Would much rather we send the kids to Ukraine and have the cavalry ready to come on at home against AEK if required.Although I agree with wholesale changes and giving some of the injured players minutes we must be mindful that we still need one more win to top the group for definite.
They're not in the squad for Europa League games.No Gray or Slimani in today's u23 squad. Wonder if they'll be saved for this match?
But Ricardo isThey're not in the squad for Europa League games.
yes he is, he was named in it they weren'tBut Ricardo is
