Harvey Elliott (signed on loan)

Re Malen did not the sales of Duran and Diego add more restrictions to the CL squad?
Agree bringing on Harvey last weekend for a cameo role seemed a bit odd/wasteful

It didn't add any extra restrictions. We just weren't able to add more then three players, regardless of who we removed having sold / loaned them.

Sorry if I’m being a bit slow on the uptake but if Diego had stayed we would not have to add Disasi so could that have left a place for Malen?

Yes, that's true. I wouldn't describe it as "adding a restriction" though. Just "not needing to replace anyone player that we sold"
