Apparently he is a regular starter but has been struggling with an injury so is touch and go whether he starts the first game.
marathoningmagpie - I'm a US citizen and have watched the build-up through friendlies and sadly, I think they will start him. For Fabio--go right at him. That knee is still obviously tender and if you thought he was disappointing when he had the black and white on for us a couple of years ago....
