    Morocco down to 10 men though.

    2-0 FT, Aguerd's coming home.

    Huge shock, and bonus for us, as Morocco were favourites to go all the way; we're getting Aguerd back for probably 2 extra matches.

    Maybe I'm just optimistic, but I don't see why he wouldn't be involved tbh.

    I'm thinking, when will he get back? When will he report for training?

    If he's not fully involved in the sessions specifically about playing against Bournemouth then I'd think he shouldn't start. Too risky.

    Sorry, I'm missing your logic. If the squad are training for Bournemouth, and he travels back tomorrow, why wouldn't he be available for any training for Man Utd with the rest of the squad on Friday or Saturday?

    My mistake. I was getting my fixtures mixed up.

    Bournemouth Thursday.

    man U, Sunday.

    So yeah, I could see him involved Sunday :+1:
  • stevesteve
    Think he will get at lest a few days off .my guess and just a guess will be back training Monday

    We pay his wages, personally I'll be very disappointed if he's not in the squad for Sunday at the very least, although I don't see why he shouldn't be available to start.

    Considering players get a winter break and he hasn’t had one, I can see him missing Sunday.

    He missed 3 or 4 games before he went off to AFCON, he's not played for us since 17th December. I'm sure he had good reason for missing those games, but if he's fit he should play imo.

    He missed those games through injury, though? Pretty different to having a break.

    Aguerd missed Liverpool 20 Dec, Man Utd 23 Dec and Arsenal 28 Dec

    Moyes said he was ill in press conferences and that he was close to being fit for the Arsenal game

    I did say he had good reason, but he still wasn't training or playing; it was illness rather than injury.

    The rest of the team are gonna be playing Thursday evening, so if he last played Tuesday evening I'd be very disappointed if he's not playing on Sunday; he'll have had 2 extra days rest (I get that he'll have had to travel for part of a day, but even so). Wouldn't be surprised if he's on the bench tomorrow night either.
