There's a big gap between now and the final. Plenty of time for test. Play the strongest team against Chelsea and make sure we're in it again next year. Just checked 3 weeks between the Chelsea match and the final and two weeks from the last Premier league match. So there's plenty of time to rest up after the Premier league season ends.
Not playing for a month is really going to keep him match sharp. He needs to play the next two games at least, rest him for Chelsea (unless we need a win), and then play him in the last Premier league game.
I know his suspension leaves us with little options but we should have enough with this lead to get through without him. This way at least he won't be suspended for the semi final if we get there. I think it's only Gomez and Moreno now on two yellow cards.
