I can't see him playing this season, one of the main reasons for this is he won't have a first choice right back behind him. Kenny has mentioned before he wants to put the kids in when the time is right when everything suits. I don't think he will field a right side of two youngsters against a PL team, nor do I think he will field a left side with a left back made of glass behind sterling. I don't think it will hurt to keep him on ice until pre season. No need to rush him in as if he has a bad game that can really set him back and without an assured presence behind him a mistake here and there can turn into a very bad game very quickly.
