Semedo has had two bad hamstring injuries in half a season, Ait Nouri always used to get cramp - he’s probably got more running to do this year and play more, Moutinho is old and infact already injured, Neves is ripe for suspensions, Podence is made of biscuits, Hwang is alledgedly injured.
This all ignoring we have 3 players who have had recent long term injuries.
I’m all for having a small squad but it’s not inconceivable that we will be without 3-5 players at any one time. Now if you’ve only got 15 players you actually want to use (and unbalanced in the positions they play in), then you’re going to end up limited in game changing subs for the majority or worse without a competent first XI for some.
