And he's out of contract in the summer. Potentially he'll never play for the albion again.Lallana out with a "big injury" for "months" isn't a good start!
A chance for Billy Gilmour too perhaps. I can't say l have been terribly impressed by the little we have seen of him thus far, but early days l know.With Lallana out for a while got to be expecting Sarmiento to come in more regularly (I've not watched the video, if he's mentioned it in there)

That, and no more Lallana ................ I know I should just concentrate on enjoying this season - but I'm starting to feel depressed about the next one!To be fair, it’s a chance to give some of the younger players some game time. We can see it’s likely Mac Allister and Caicedo might be off in the summer, so I think developing some of the players we have is important. I guess it has to start sometime soon.
Agree about the 10 options. I'd start Veltman at RB, move Gross into CM, and Ali Mac to 10. That brings more solidity, and allows us the option of replacing Ferguson with Undav. Also Lamptey, Sarmiento, Enciso and Buonanotte as options from the bench.Lallana out is really disappointing. We play (even) better with him in the side. But we have the option of pushing Ali Mac up as we did at Palace, using Undav in there, using Gross there and dropping back Ali Mac or playing Sarmiento as a "10". Pretty good options but none with quite the footballing intelligence of AL.
Suspect tomorrow RDZ might tinker a little and play:
Sanchez
Gross Webster Dunk Estupinian
MacAllister Caicedo
March Undav Mitoma
Ferguson
Fulham are definitely without injured midfielder Tom Cairney and long-term absentee Neeskens Kebano.
However, Aleksandar Mitrovic, Antonee Robinson and Willian are all expected be available.
