Keeping that aside, Rodri did not help his cause by getting a second yellow cards inside 53 seconds of receiving the first. It will be very difficult for him to get back anywhere near to the level he used have before the injury. Maybe a prolonged period of being eased back in to the first team might help but how many of the current squad will stay if/when Guardiola leaves at the end of the season?
No, he need a to keep fit before WC and besides Pep is trying to play him to match fitness - I don't think bench would help him much. Probably his last WC.
What are your bets for the fixtures this coming weekend? I got Fulham to win against Brighton and BTTS combo at 4.40, Liverpool to win against Bournemouth and BTTS combo at 3.20 and the draw for the Newcastle vs Aston Villa match and the BTTS combo at 4.20.
What do you guys think? These look like long shots but for some reason I feel good betting on all of them. Will this be one of those 'why did I even make these bets' kind of moments or am I actually a genius?

Nice bets if you have $60 to play around with, you could single all with $20 - the possibility of 2/3 is very likely. I don't like the New -Villa pick ( hate to go draw )!
