We've not won a league match without Ilias Chair since 2019. Admittedly he doesn't miss many games, but he's still such a key player.

They've known for a long time that he'll be going, so let's hope they already know the shape they will use in his absence.

I think that when Chair goes to the ACON it's an ideal opportunity for Amos to fit into that role. Amos might not possess all the trickery of Chair but there aren't many players who do. Before his injury I thought that Amos could do a decent job as a no. 10 and when Illias heads off with Morroco we should get the chance to see.

Yes it is Amos to whom Warburton should be turning to generate that close interplay across the pitch between Chair & Willock!

Prem clubs pushing to keep players until the 2nd jan so guess we are doing the same

The Senegal first choice keeper Mendy has tested positive for Covid so Dieng is likely to play for Senegal today.

Chair could also be in action as Morocco begin their campaign today.

The whole tournament is live on Sky, with some matches on BBC

Good luck to both Dieng and Chair in their matches today. We know that eventually both will be sold and I suppose this competition is a bit like putting them in the shop window. Hopefully, both do well and can take the form they have shown with us onto the international stage.

You cannot help but wonder if PL clubs are holding off anyway from considering a bid for Chair or Dieng on whether they get injured or not..... That would make sense if no other club is making a serious bid for them, but it does mean we could get safely as far as the last day of the window before finding either or both of them has been poached!

very frustrating to see a player of Chairs ability not selected for a very very average Morrocco midfield

wonder why he doesnt start what i watched of that game they need his spark

if they dont rate him dont take him i know he would be needed and used here in blighty

If I had to guess...the first game of the group is a bit nervy and maybe they wanted a more cautious starting 11...also remember that Chair was either injured or had covid (or both) before he went so maybe is still getting up to speed...lets see what happens in the second game
