Curse of the England call up for our boys. Ramsdale got injured before the window, Saka picked up COVID, ESR is “unwell” so only White made the squad but didn’t take to the field! Unsure how white didn’t get a start when Stones was partnered by Coady from Wolves and Guehi from Palace, two teams not exactly offering defensive solidity at the moment.
White ended up starting both games, playing the full 90 minutes in the first and 45 in the second. Think he was a last minute replacement in the lineup for Stones.
