I think they may feel that a recurrence of his injury now could lead to him missing the start of next season as well.….find it a little surprising if Rondon comes on ahead of him in games. DCL ideal to relieve pressure against teams pushing on & against tiring defenders.
Can only think he’s being wrapped in cotton wool because they think his game time is limited & they will only chance him when desperately needed.
There are about ten days left in this league, three games.
We have recently beaten Utd, Chelsea and Leicester without him but he is on the bench if needed.
Rondon has been brought on to help see out games not rescue them, DCL would probably be the option if we did need to score.
I think Richarlison is gone this summer. DCL has had a poor season and it would not be a good time to sell.
