A little ambitious to start Solly. Need to get him fit enough for bench first.

If those 4 are out the squad is looking thinner than a supermodels neck.

I imagine Gruda would have to play out wide.

Agree with that. He might plump for more solidity in midfield and have Baleba, Gomez and Ayari/Weiffer instead of Gruda. Thought Gruda did ok yesterday. Him and Adringra just need to be stronger. March playing will give everyone a lift. He can play right and Adringra on his favourite left perhaps. If mitoma is fit they could finish the game. Welbeck to coem on and make an impact.

If Georgi is out for the season, this is O'Riley's chance to really contribute. They're different players but O'Riley has a lot of quality - he's seemed quite brittle.

We've also got no choice but ask our full backs to play a full 90 mins. Probably every game for the rest of the season. We just have to pray they don't break down.

Spoiler alert. They will break down and we'll lose another season to a preposterous injury crisis

Adingra was pretty rubbish coming on for Mitoma. Despite his performance yesterday I'd definitely start Kaoru unless he's picked up an injury

Also worry for Hinsh without Minteh covering

Veltman not too far off from returning. FH has used Wieffer at RB too, who has performed effectively when called upon.

Why are you assuming Minteh and Mitoma will be out?
Because both looked injured when they came off, especially Minteh who would have been subbed if we had not already used all of our subs.
Mitoma looked knackered from the off.

Minteh didn't come off. He stayed on the pitch for 120 minutes. He had cramp, but that doesn't keep you out of a game four days later. He has also travelled a considerable distance over the past fortnight, and has been fasting during daylight for the past month (and won't be by after today).

Dunk on the left of Van Hecke, surely - and if you're going to give Adingra a rare start (which sounds fine to me) let him have a real chance in his best position, LW. Minteh or Gruda can take the right.

He didn't come off because we had no subs left. All of your other comments are correct but I am sure he won't start on Wed. Hope I am wrong

Wieffer also injured though. Not a lot of right backs around right now.

Injuries are going to absolutely dictate this selection.

———————--Verbruggen———————-
Hinshelwood——JPvH—Dunk—-—Estupiñán
—————-Baleba————-Gomez————
Gruda——————-Pedro—————Mitoma
—————————Welbeck———————-

I’d play Minteh if he is fit enough or Adingra if Mitoma is done but Webby and Georgi are surely out.
