It wasn&#8217;t worth the risk, to be honest, so we&#8217;re hoping it&#8217;s pretty small and it won&#8217;t be too long. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Manu comes in tonight. He came on and did well for us in the last game at Bournemouth and went away and played well for Uruguay so he&#8217;s well up to speed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s been great in training and done great all the way through really and part of what we&#8217;ve done, even though it&#8217;s not obvious because Kobbie and Case have played a lot.
