He is definitely good enough to be in consideration, at least, for a starting place once The Nations League and WC qualifiers start, so we should be taking the opportunity to get him blooded in as soon as possible.

And what was the change instead? Bring on Doherty and shuffle Coleman across. Make sure your entire right side of defence is over 30. I can't fathom how he didn't blood the lad. The Swiss started 3 lads in Swiss league. Sierro scored the same day as O'Brien in last league game between Toulouse and Lyon.
