So Arsenal have Xhaka suspended, and have sent two youngsters on the fringes of the first team out on loan when they could have delayed that for a week or two - and now they want a match postponed because they've got a weekened squad. Typical Arsenal entitlement. I understood that emergency postponements in the current situation were to cover squads decimated by Covid, not to cover ordinary injury/suspension situations, and foolishly sending players you actually need at the moment out on loan?
So, should the PL have told them to sling their hook? Anybody out there feel the decision can be justified?
Should the PL in the first place have laid down rules - like AFCON have? I'd have thought it perfectly reasonable to say, if you've got 14 players (including a GK, or a GK on an emergency loan) the game goes ahead. Too much to ask?
