Ano its sounds unlikely but he has been back trainin for well over a week and did'nt have much match time at the world cup is it possible the joe and carra for the same reasons might just be asked to give 60-70 mins on thurs nite??????
I wouldn't play any of the England players as the medical team have asked as someone will have to play 90 minutes. take the same squad as last weekend & see what happens. next week in the return leg i am sure we could turn anything around.
I truly hope we send out our reserve side, winning the PL should be our only goal for the season and while other top 4 clubs will be concentrating on the CL, and bothered by injuries, we'll have a clear shot of winning the league.
