if Mata has that bad of a Virus he can't play, why put him near other players that could catch it ? Ba should start because he can't play in the Prague game.
watched him back on 2009 for Anderlecht and i thought that is our replacement for Drogba then we bought him and i was over the moon, hope he comes to the Bridge and gets a chance because he is a beast, him and Ba up front would cause any defence in the world problems.
got to say Cech because i have not seen enough of Courtois, but one thing i have to say about Cech is that he is Injury prone compared to a lot of goalkeepers
there seems to be a part of every season when Cech get's hurt.
