Training

Carvajal was the only player absent from training.

Rüdiger as left-back is a reality for the season

I was a little surprised to see Rüdiger playing as LB vs Barcelona. After the game, Carlo stated he does not want to break the CB pair of last season. Therefore, the idea is for Rüdiger to play as left-back. He and Alaba will change positions during games. Alaba will only play as a “full” LB when really needed.
