Team News for Both Sides
‘”Nayef has trained today, so we’ll see how he and everyone else is before tomorrow,” manager David Moyes said on Monday, in regards to the Aguerd injury situation. He also gave the following update on Areola:
“Alphonse has hurt his groin, so at the moment, it looks like he’s going to be out for a little bit.”
Hard to say when the Irons will get their goalkeeper back. But there is better news, in regards to Edson Alvarez. The midfielder will now return to the side, after having finished serving his suspension.
Shifting over to the other sideline, Craig Dawson and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde will once again be injury doubts for this match. Meanwhile Pedro Neto and Hwang Hee-chan remain on the shelf for the long-term.
