He's not famed for rotating, but did it a lot, really, a lot last season.But let's be honest. This is José we are talking about, he's not famed for rotating players and he obviously isn't the risky type to put his trust in younger players.
This is a world cup year, and there are not many Brazilians of his generation that play in Europe (assuming it gives a significant advantage). How would he not take the decision not to go on loan. Let's not forget that he'd come earlier this season to say he didn't want a loan but to fight for a spot. Perhaps the manager has not given him any assurances or trust that AP would play a significant number of games. I emphasize the point of TFM last season, up until the last week of the season, he had only played like 4 mins of competitive football at any level iirc. He's gone on loan and after 3 games despite being on the losing side, he gets a call up to the national team.
A.Pereira has no chance to go to the World Cup, in my opinion.
