Nah, Roy doesn't like throwing new players into the team we might see him in October if we're lucky.

It was a joke and Roy does take his time introducing players into the team.

Unlikely, otherwise the nations league etc. wouldn't be on. Can you imagine clubs allowing their players to represent England when we go to Belgium, if that were the case? Of course not. That's what the rumpus re Foden and Greenwood was all about - they broke the safety bubble rules which allow teams to move freely between countries. Also players are tested regularly for Covid.

In other words, expect Batshuayi to play some part on Saturday.

I think sports stars are exempt from the 14 day quarantine rules, as they are continually tested.

Seriously ,it would be throwing him in. Barely back in the country.No time to unpack , let alone get into tune with the group or present tactics. If this had happened a few weeks back what an opening day we might have had. A lot of us really want this, just get him signed up . Plenty of games to come.

My thoughts too, especially as this time he knows the manager and most of the players.
