Milner and Keita injured in today's game and Fabinho not making the bench and with Thiago and Elliott injured, we have only 3 fit senior players to choose from in midfield - Hendo, Jones & Ox.
Gini being allowed to leave on a free without a replacement is certainly going to bite us on our a.r.se again...shades of Lovren being sold and not replaced.
We have a lot of midfielders but they are so regularly injured. As for Gini's replacement, it is Curtis Jones
