How Bundesliga interest in English talent is just the beginning
Interesting read on how Bundesliga clubs are now scouring PL youth games for unutilised (by PL clubs) youth,
Sterling trained with the first team today so 90% certain he is in the match squad.
Janssen with his 3rd successive appearance for u23's - hopefully just about match fit to be sold or loaned out
Tracey back fit in the starting X1, good to see Harrison first time back after injury on the bench.
No Sterling - first team place on bench as back up for Llorente ?.
that's a good question. I guess Nkoudou, even if he doesn't cut the grade is still on Poch's good side so he is allowed to train with the first team. But he is only 23 so he should be eligible to play with the youthsWhy does N'Koudou not play with the U23s?

Poch confirmed Dier is fit for the bench at the press conference today indeedSterling training with the first team.
Surprised to see Marsh starting though as I had assumed he'd have made up numbers on the bench. Though this could also confirm Dier will be back and ready for the bench instead.

Even though Dier should be fit enough to make the 18, still surprised if only Sterling is the only one called up as first team numbers must be pretty tight to make 18.

Most likely, I'd say? Replace full back and centre halves depending on who starts
Perfectly possible, But I'd say it doesn't leave much option to bring on an attacking player. I'd still have had Roles on the bench as well as Sterling.
You just know it'll be Aurier and not KWP.Gazzaniga

Agreed.
I actually think Poch may spring a surprise and start Skipp and perhaps leave Lamela on the bench for some creativity later on if needed.
