Their number one, 35-year-old Milan Borjan, will miss the rest of the tournament due to injury.
Dayne St. Clair came in for just his third cap tonight.
McGill could be getting a bit closer to a first senior appearance.
Indeed. He has done his stint as No.3. I suspect we’ll see Rushworth or Beadle take the no-games role next season.

Is Beadle going to commute from Oxford ?

Don't quite buy this. He's clearly comfortable - not all players are but he is - being the back up keeper , with the contract and wages that that brings at a PL club. I expect him to be No.3 again this season. (although he was effectively No.2 for a while at the back end of last year when Sanchez had his sulk. )
PS: Rushworth far more likely to continue his development as #1 at an EFL club - perhaps Championship - for example rather than be back to up to Verbruggen and Steele
It was stated by Naylor a year or 2 back that he wanted/intended to leave to get regular games. Now, he was persuaded to stay but has that desire for games really just gone ?

Different paths suit different players. He’s always seemed the high floor, low ceiling and great supportive team-mate/trainer type. Maybe be wrong as few years back for my limited experience / conversations with those who’d know more.
More a Jason Steele / Ankergren personality and prospect type than a Sanchez?
Being a career back-up has suited a few International ‘Keepers but I’d think he’d need game time to break in, before perhaps keeping his Canada place whilst backing-up at club level.

Do we have an U21 good enough to be emergency keeper, or does this suggest that Rushworth is staying to be back-up with Steele as 3rd choice?

Good luck to the lad, we are truly blessed with young keepers!.

Hugo Fisher has gone to Japan with the squad. But he's only 19. Presumably going to be u21 keeper this season ?
Unlikely Rushworth or Steele would want to be our third keeper. the former (no good for their development or ££ value), the latter (he could easily be the #1 keeper for someone in the Championship perhaps and play every week or be lucratively paid as a #2 in the Prem ? )

AFAIK he's out of contract at the end of 24/25.
Would make sense to try and get him some league experience before his contract is up to help him with the next stage of his career.

The likely hood is we will stick a recall clause in Rushworths loan (if he goes out on loan).
Goalkeepers can be recalled outside of the transfer windows under exceptional circumstances rules.
Last season Bournemouth recalled Mark Travers from Stoke when Neto got injured, they still had Romanian international Andrei Radu and Darren Randolph available so it’s not like they only had kids to choose from.
So we should have no problems recalling Rushworth if an injury occurred to Bart or Jason Steele.
We’ve got the option of another year on his contract that he signed in 2023.

WHERE"S RUSHWORTH ?
Killian Cahill is also in Japan- played PL2 football a fair bit last season - on the bench this morning for the friendly.

Not sure I like any dealings with MK Dons to be honest.
