The South Americans arrived yesterday to Doha and will at most be part of the squad on the bench, except for Jeison Murillo who will rest due to a minor muscular injury. That means that coach Roberto Mancini might go for a 4-2-3-1 formation with Jonathan Biabiany joining the starters. Premium Sport thinks that he will play with Adem Ljajic and Ivan Perisic behind Stevan Jovetic with Marcelo Brozovic and Gary Medel in midfield.

looks like a winning formation right there, but who’s on our left back then? Both JJ and Telles are Brasilians and expected to be on the bench… Santon maybe? And who will be in our central defense? Rannochia and Vidic ??
So all the ics together, nice.
