Bit of a Catch 22 - with injuries piling up and games coming thick and fast, we can't really afford to take further gambles with the likes of Martial and Shaw. But with so many key players missing various games through injuries and suspensions, then leaving available key ones on the bench makes the already weakened starting XI even weaker.
With Maguire and Fernandes available for this game, then I wouldn't rush back Shaw and would manage Martial (and Eriksen's) minutes by having them as a sub v Forest and then starting v Sevilla when there's no Fernandes.

Spot on, agree with you. Give Shaw that bit of extra recovery time and play him Thursday.
At least Bruno will finally get a rest midweek, so will be the one definitely fresh for the semi next weekend!
I hope there's no risks with Rashy either. I'd be inclined to keep him for the FA cup semi as well. Any earlier screams risky.
