Pellegrini may give Holland a chance

Nathan Holland has been called into the squad for the match against AFC Wimbledon at Kingsmeadow this evening and he has been joined by his former under 23s skipper Declan Rice.

Holland has been training with the first team at Rush Green for two or three weeks and has impressed Manuel Pellegrini who is keeping a very close eye on the teenager.

Holland has been tipped as the next big thing to come through the academy and may get a chance to show again what he’s about whilst Rice is likely to start.

We also believe that Josh Cullen will be involved and others in the squad include Aaron Cresswell, Zaba, Angelo Ogbonna, Robert Snodgrass, Chicharito and Pedro Obiang.

And whilst No 1 keeper Lukasz Fabianski is included in the squad Adrian is ful expected to wear the sweater for the game against the Dons.
