I wonder how much our line up will be effected by the international break. I know Ziyech had a falling out with is national manager. Is Mendy traveling home? That could put him in quarantine. 

[ZAPHOD2319 3,870]

Mendy is playing for Senegal. Are there restrictions for people coming from Senegal to the UK?

Nope

That is good for us.

Last season it was a trick match and the bookies were robbed.
The scene was set thus:
We win at Villa, we finish fourth no matter what Leicester do against the Spurs.
So we go to Leicester and say "listen folks we are going to win and we also have Terry stationed over there - so it's over but let us propose an alternative solution - what about we both lose ?".
Leicester scratched their heads and the gentlemen's agreement was reached.

We already have a big advantage in that Martinez and Buendia both will be unavailable for this due to traveling for Argentina's qualifying games.

Internationals suck

[ZAPHOD2319 3,870]

Hopefully it proves to be nothing.

Yikes, he did say he’s been struggling for a while so perhaps nothing that stops him playing. Ultimately, down to our fantastic medical staff to determine whether playing on it will make it worse. Thankfully Villa are without a few key players as well, so perhaps he could be benched/rested.

[MoroccanBlue 5,194]

Could be dead leg. Easily manageable 

[Fernando 6,375]

Fifa bug. 

We tend to do bad after international break.

Silva out. Thankfully not injured, but we always lose someone because of international games. Luckily France let Kante heal, even if he is not ready to play now.

[NikkiCFC 7,566]

Considering everything like minutes played during international games, injuries, suspensions and schedule this is the best lineup:

               Mendy

      Azpi  Chris  Chalobah 

CHO  Saul  Kovacic  Alonso 

               Ziyech 

        Havertz  Lukaku 

 

Rudiger, Jorginho, Werner and Mount played all 3 international games with last one being tonight. Tomorrow day off so only one day to prepare the game. 

Azpi and Kai came from the bench so they should start because they are fresher. 

James, Silva and Kante are out. 

Pulisic is playing last game in the morning in Honduras so no chance for him as well. 

Give Chilwell first minutes in the second half and after that start him in CL.

Seems like Puli has a slight ankle injury, not sure if fit for this match. Hopefully nothing too serius.
