Luis Suarez has been banned for two matches for his part in a scuffle between Barcelona and Espanyol players after their Spanish Cup tie.
Never injured but forever getting banned..
Read a decent article with Dagenham's captain ahead of their FA Cup third round tie this weekend. He has been banned twice for biting, too. The Suarez gene is far-reaching, it seems...
Unsure if any of these returnees can play tonight, don't they have to be registered a week before?
Don't think you have to be registered at all for FA Cup. I'm pretty sure you can only play for one team per season though, so if any of them played in the cup whilst out on loan then they will be ineligible. Hopefully we haven't overlooked that and the players we are recalling are actually able to play.
Surprised we haven't also recalled Wisdom considering he's not playing either.
Wonder if Ilori can make it for tonight's game.
Iirc, recall clauses aren't allowed between PL clubs, so we can only recall if they agree to it. He's been out injured and he was getting game time beforehand, so he's presumably still needed for cover/rotation. It's a different situation to Ilori where he was clearly never going to get a chance.
But he hasn't this season, whereas Kent/Ojo/Stewart have.
Your argument is that the likes of Chirivella are more sheltered and would fail against a team of 'men' playing more agricultural lower league football, and I said that Teixeira has already played and exceeded in lower league football (to a high standard than any of Kent, Ojo and Stewart).

In mind head Wisdom was still at WBA and not getting any game time. Need to catch up and realise its 2016 and he's at Norwich now. Yea can't see Norwich cancelling it since they would need another RB to replace him.
I genuinely thought that lineup was the Exeter team when I first saw it.
Just smacks of ignorance tbh, a lot like when Van Gaal played the kids against MK Dons in his first lower league game. I know you've got a lot of injuries but to not even have the likes of Firmino, Ibe, Milner, Can, Clyne, Mignolet on the bench is a bit disrespectful.

Ibe is injured, guess the rest are getting rested.
