Mitoma a doubt.

Cashin, Wieffer and Baleba are all options to replace van Hecke.

Like I said in the Team against Leicester thread I find it highly unlikely that we'll start a non-match fit CB, who has only played some 20 minutes at this level, in a game we must win.

It will be Wieffer or Baleba.

You also said 100% Joao Pedro wasn't on holiday in Marbella.

Back on topic, Hurzeler also said a change of formation is under consideration.

I guess that could mean Cashin does come in, but as one of a three, presumably with Wieffer as well, allowing Baleba to keep doing what he does best further forward.

Ok, that is too bad.

You'd imagine that a player with persistent injury niggle problems (particularly in the ankles) would have met some medical expertise for a check-up or so while in Marbella. Reeks of incompetence from club and player not to use that opportunity, especially given that he certainly didn't seem 100% fit last week. Hopefully we can improve :shrug:

If Cashin isn't seen as good enough to start against Leicester you have to wonder why on earth we have bought him. Why didn't we just keep McConville?

No Mitoma!
Can you imagine spending a fortune flying in from Japan only to find out the reason you came her isn't playing.
I think the Dutch van Hecke fan club are also in town this weekend!
