It is a tricky one and I'm an old fashioned gal who thinks representing your country is the pinnacle of sporting achievement. It rankles that players don't feel that and would rather rest and prepare for their next club game.

Having said that. Any player watching the Uruguay game would probably think it's not worth risking injury!

Seems like we've moved forward in discussions with De Zerbi. I'd imagine you offer him a long contract but with a release clause if he fails to keep them up. One that can be triggered by either party perhaps.

My Worry with De Zerbi is the attacking football he likes to play ( never thought I would say that) Ideally would be better at the start of another season.
Is he really the right choice for the rest of the season? I fear not.
What a way to run a club
