Rufer is a massive loss. Leadership and command of the midfield. I wonder if Bally will be dropped into the midfield.
I have wondered about Ball in midfield. It certainly wouldn't be the craziest thing we've done and didn't Chiefy pretty much say it's something he might do?
Chief is saying Retre will start in a straight swap, which makes perfect sense. He also says in Rufer's absence the other senior players need to step up.
I'd say there is a higher chance that Colakovski starts ahead of Ball. But suspect both will be on the pine, unless yes the formation changes to a back 4.
