Super interesting to see his choices for Torino match.
One would think that the whole bench etc should play and all the first guys shouldn't play a minute.
But then I thought, if main guys don't play at all, it would be 2 weeks without game time for them in the CL final. City is playing a meaningful game week from the final (FA Cup final next weekend).
Then there's obviously the injury fears. I would def restrict Barella and Calhanoglu from playing, maybe small minutes in the end or something. It feels those guys are absolutely crucial and their playing style is so demanding that injury scare is always there (even though Barella isn't too injury-prone?).
