Sean Longstaff

ANALYSIS
Longstaff has suffered an injury this week and will hit the sidelines for an extended period, as the midfielder is deemed to miss four to six weeks with his calf injury. The club will now be without a regular starter, as their summer singing has yet to miss a start since the second match of the season. That said, this will force a change, with Ao Tanaka and Ilia Gruev likely to start in the midfield in his place while out.
