Impact Sanches was finally getting back to full fitness and another nagging issue will get him back on the sidelines. It sounds like his problem is just minor and he could be back next week but it also means that with him you can just never be really sure how much you can rely on his availability. His absence likely guarantees a start for both Xeka and Benjamin Andre in central midfield.
