No martial probably means Bruno as false 9 with eriksen into the midfield with McFred.
Don’t see ronaldo starting after only 45 mins of preseason.

@TheReligion it's not realistic to have expected us to have adequate backups in attack for this seasonMartial and Sancho potentially out for the game
Good thing we have next to no backups
Sorry what? you’ve lost me@TheReligion it's not realistic to have expected us to have adequate backups in attack for this season
I'd go Rashford right Garnacho left Ronaldo up top if Martial and Sancho are outI'd go ahead and start Garnacho on the left with Rashford up top tbh
Well what am I missing?You know it's not as simple as that right.
Sancho is fine, not a chance he doesn't start. Was there all pre season, missed less than 1 week with illness and will have another 3 training sessions to get sharpness back. He's fine.I'd go Rashford right Garnacho left Ronaldo up top if Martial and Sancho are out
Did he? Any link? I’ve not seen anything but I hope you’re correctLaurie said he is back after his illness
Would be some statement but I don’t think a brand new manager is going to chuck Garnacho in for his first ever game on the opening day of the season.Maybe Martial's absence is Garnacho's Rashford moment

Probably in his athletic article where he put martial was out. Luckhurst said he's back training tooTweet

Yeah can't see it, would be fairytale stuff. Wasn't ETH a bit reluctant to play youth at Ajax as well?Would be some statement but I don’t think a brand new manager is going to chuck Garnacho in for his first ever game on the opening day of the season.
He probably is back from illness but I didn't see him in any of the training photos from today. Hopefully he'll be back in training by tomorrow but I'm not sure I believe any suggestions that he was in training today and somehow nobody managed to picture him.Probably in his athletic article where he put martial was out. Luckhurst said he's back training tooTweet

Id definitely consider him if Martial is injuredGarnacho going to get his chance earlier than expected.
I'd love that but I feel like he isn't going to get much gametime this season. I'd be surprised to see him playing against Brighton.Garnacho going to get his chance earlier than expected.
I don't think he'll start.Id definitely consider him if Martial is injured
Surely Eriksen would be the natural fit wider?Has ETH ever played Bruno on the left?
Pushed wide vs Aletico to accomodate a Fred, Van de beek and Eriksen midfield.Has ETH ever played Bruno on the left?
Didn't we end the Atletico game with him there?Has ETH ever played Bruno on the left?
Nah if Garnacho comes in it would be for Elanga with Rashford up top.I wonder if ten hags tempted to start garnacho instead of rashford this weekend?… first home game of the season and he’ll get the fans of there seats no doubt. I know ten Hag likes him but he might play it safe and start rashford.
I don't think he'll start.
Sancho -------- Eriksen -------- Bruno
-------------------- Rashford ----------------
... I reckon. Ronaldo in the second half. But Garnacho surely deserves minutes ahead of Elanga, if we need some pace.
Its sad because everything was quite positive until Ronaldo came back into the picture, then the club just apparently stopped doing anything in the transfer window and have ignored obvious issues. Hopefully we can start the season well and make some signings to close the windowAs excited as I am for the new season to start, I can't say I'm feeling (or sensing) many positive vibes. The lack of squad depth, the Ronaldo situation, and now the couple of injuries we have, it's not great.
Anyway, I'm going to go with a very hard-fought 1-0 in this one.
Elanga is awful, so that bit a good thingSancho is a doubt too?
Just saw the post above.
EDIT:
Elanga will be the likely inclusion for Martial being out.
