Antonio running but Moyes still cautious
Michail Antonio is back running with the first team squad but still has a question mark over his immediate future.
David Moyes revealed in his press conference: “He’s out on the grass running in training — I say training, he’s out on the grass running doing his work to get himself back training.
So I’m hoping that at the start of next week we’ll have an idea of whether he’s going to push on with us or if it’s not then we’ll know what the outcome is”
Micky Antonio offers us something, his pace, strength, those things, and ultimately he’s the only player who can play wide on the right for us, really.
“We don’t have anybody who, naturally balanced, can play there. We have plenty who can play on the left, even through the youth we don’t have anyone who fits that build so it’s not as if we have a young player we can try.
So it just limits us. We’ve got Sam Byram not too far as well but he’s more of a right back, right wing back than maybe someone who can play as an attacking right-sided player.
