Manchester City v Arsenal, 20:00 BST (26/04, BT Sport)

[Mac76]

Respectfully disagree, I think playing Saliba in the Europa league was an unnecessary risk and I said at the time that I was not happy with first team players featuring in the Europa league so I’m not just being wise with hindsight.

I also respectfully disagree that we should not have done everything possible to play Saliba even if it meant getting him through this period with painkilling injections. At 21, a back injury is unlikely to be career ending…and if he broke down we’d be no worse off than we are now.

Agree 100% with the first para but not the second, any player needs to be given the time they need to recover, we rushed Partey back a season or two ago and ended up losing him for longer
