As a result, Dominik Szoboszlai is ready to start, and could potentially replace Florian Wirtz in the lineup. However, teenage player Trey Nyoni is expected to maintain his position in the team.
At just 19 years old, Nyoni has already played 513 minutes this season, more than double the 237 minutes he played in the previous campaign under Arne Slot. Manager Iraola has expressed confidence in Nyoni's abilities and plans for him to continue his growth.
"I think he should continue in the same role he's been in since preseason. He's playing in most of the games," Iraola said.
"We trust him, he's doing very well. We need to encourage him to continue improving, learning, and gaining experience. He's in a great place right now."
Nyoni has also been working on increasing his endurance, which is an important aspect of his development as a player, especially for young players who may not fully understand the physical demands of the game.
