Players like Mustafi, Holding and Chambers have only just returned to training with the group having been given extended holidays due to summer football, throwing them straight into weekend games may well have been seen as physically counterproductive, perhaps even ill advised.
People just need to relax a little, no game the club has played since the Cup Final matters one jot, it simply a case of proving or improving fitness. Different players need different things.
