Ali Gold reporting that we have no plans to sell Ndombele, that without a DM to protect him he's currently competing against Lo Celso for the role of creative midfielder in the side, and that we plan to bring in a DM over the summer so that both can line up simultaneously as No. 8s in a 4-3-3. That has the ring of truth to me, although I wouldn't mind seeing Ndombele given a go in place of Dele who is not performing.
Either way, with the games coming thick and fast starting next Thursday there will absolutely be a need for rotation. If Ndombele continues to not get picked during that period it'll be a big concern, but if what Ali is saying is true then Lo Celso is rightly being picked ahead of him at the moment and not necessarily indicative of a major rupture behind the scenes.
