“The plan was to play with Joe [Gomez] For 60 minutes the plan was to start Curtis [Jones] But he didn’t feel good enough to play. Darwin became a father a day or two before the game, which happened in Spain and he came a day or two earlier. We wanted to play with a stronger team. The fact that we have not won shows that these players need these games. It makes it disappointing that we don’t have these additional games for you. “
