Has to be a tactical decision though. Laca’s had the whole summer off, so he must have been fit and ready - with so many other players still working their way back to fitness I can’t think why else he’d be on the bench?
Laca picked up a knock when he came off early in the Lyon friendly. Only trained fully in the last few days. Similarly, Pepe hasn't trained much with the team either after his AFCON participation.
