Perfect opportunity for the lad.
Ayew in Africa
Olise injured
Rak Sakyi injured
Wide player needed
Please select Franca!
Cmon Roy you know it makes sense

And where are most of them these days ?

L1 / L2 / National League.

I hope Roy does give some youngsters a chance tomorrow. Realistically it's not our priority and we're not likely to win it.

Old, Ungifted and White

Edouard is now fit and I anticipate he will play as well as Schlupp who hasn’t started recently.
Assuming Mateta also starts I think there’s no guarantee that Franca will be on from the beginning.
Hughes also needs a game which takes one of the midfield spots.
Roy will invariably take an experienced head over a young one.
I hope I’m wrong as I would like to see Franca from the beginning of a game.

Isn't he on loan at Carlisle?

Nah, they've cut short his loan & are sending him back, tho, strangely, they are after an U18 lad, can't remember his name atm.
