Chouchane? Must have been recalled. Explains why he hasn't been in the Northampton squad for a while

News to me too - still at Northampton according to Wiki and Transfermarkt too. Wonder if #AZGull knows anything?
Any sign of a stream yet?

He was on the bench for their game against Exeter on Saturday in fact, two days later he's back with our U21s.
Looks like it’s only available to LUTV subscribers ?
Or it’s just a mistake.

Doubt if a huge club like grimm united would stream their u21s for free
Yes; it's only £3.49 for a month. Thought about it, but it's a recurring monthly payment thing, so I opted out.

The line-ups on the Premier League website would suggest that he is, indeed, playing tonight.
I'm genuinely surprised we're allowed to do that. Maybe it comes under the same as playing 'Guest' or 'Triallist' - but even with that I'd have thought the transfer window restrictions would still apply.

Google suggests that there is nothing to prevent an U-21 player (and he still qualifies as an U-21) out on loan playing for his parent club's U-21 side (I cannot vouch for the accuracy of that). I have known players out on loan at non-league clubs play for the parent club's U-21s (or U-18s) but I can't think, off the top of my head, of an occurence when it has happened at Albion with a player loaned out to a league club (and with the loan still in place).

Fair enough - Chouchane hasn't been getting a lot of game time lately (though it certainly hasn't been the worst loan). If it's as easy as that though, I'm surprised we haven't used the opportunity more often - some of our loanees have had great loans, true, but a few in recent times have had absolute shockers in terms of game time.

The U-21s might not win another game all season:-
Oh well, Joe Knight managed to pick up his 13th caution of the season so it wasn't a completely wasted evening.
