Following on from the "bench" thread, when everyone is available we'll have two players that are very much to do with the first team missing out on the matchday squad, three when Jonny makes his return.
So who do you think the two are likely to be?
For me, I think Marcal was brought in as cover. Relatively cheap, come and get a good PL contract before you get too old and be very adequate cover for a couple of positions for us, so I think he's one. The other I think will be Hoever, because as he's here permanently and we have Semedo, there's less of a rush to see what he can do. If we're unlucky enough to lose Semedo during a game then I think Adama would fill in temporarily, then Hoever takes the place until Semedo returns.
There's not much point in the loanees missing out in my opinion, because if they do they may as well not be here and I can't imagine Ait-Nouri has given up being a starter for Angers to come on loan and be a sub. I'd also think that Vitinha has come under the premise that he'll get game time as we progress to a more possession based game that should suit him.
Can't see anyone else being left out, especially now Kilman has made such a claim. Saiss is too experienced and versatile, Silva is the central option up top, everyone who's left I see as being automatically in the squad when fit
