Which academy players are likeliest to get (early) chances under Amorim?

We have got to stop with the likes of Malacia and Eriksen. There's no excuse to be playing lads who won't be here next season when there's an Academy full of top talent.

Fans will be much more forgiving of younger players and you never know how good (or not) some of these lads can be until they're tried.

Every minute Malacia gets is a waste, he's going back to midtable Dutch football soon, so why not give his minutes to Amass?
 
This is what's disappointed me most about Amorim so far - I thought we'd have seen one or two young players brought in from the academy. Hope he's just giving some of these senior players enough rope, but I'm not sure.
 
I'm actually really excited for the next two league matches to see whom he selects and how many will make their debuts. Fantastic that he said so after the game last night and prepared to ground. We'll obviously need to give a rest to some key players in the next week or two, but I guess he might give 45 minutes to key players in the next 180 minutes.

He's shown already that he's not afraid to throw a young player on as we've witnessed with Heaven who really took his opportunity with both hands. Yoro would obviously have made his debut under ETH if it weren't for the injury, but 4 teenagers have made their debut under Amorim: Yoro, Heaven, Amass, Obi-Martin.

I don't know how many players get their debut under LVG but he's surely the one manager who gave the most debuts in the shortest amount of time in recent history. Would love to see 4-5 players make their debuts in the next couple of weeks and hopefully some of them stake a claim.

Yeah, I'd do too. I suspect the players most obviously needing a rest are Dalot, Bruno, and one or two of the centre backs, maybe Garnacho, maybe Hojlund. So I'm hoping to see Kamason make his debut, Kukonki who's made the bench a number of times, maybe Scanlon in an advanced role, but Mount and Mainoo obviously both need more match sharpness. Ibragimov has already trained with the first team, maybe a chance there.
