Unai Emery: "Joao Felix deal in January was not totally impossible for us, but he wanted to play for a team in the Champions League". ✨🇵🇹 #AVFC"He has a high salary and Chelsea paid a lot of money for that. I like him but we were never really in the running for him".

Cash picked up his injury since we last played, so it's impossible to say what effect his absence will have on our form.Yes, but it fills your criteria of 9 players on the bench and only one goalie in that nine.

To be honest the majority of the team were from pre Lange though?
