Could be the perfect time to do it and not make it obvious about form, which would only affect Pickford confidence more. Take him out the spotlight, let him regroup, and just say he's had a lot to deal with recently, isn't 100% and needs to regain his focus. Perfectly understandable and takes the media circus away from him till it dies down a bit. Olsen starts, Lossl on the bench, otherwise they just fix a camera on him for the 90 minutes looking for his reactions.
Could be a blessing in disguise.
