Indeed, Rothwell played 70 minutes after replacing Gruev. On-loan Rothwell even hinted at frustration at a lack of game time on Instagram, but he is now key until the October international break due to injuries.

He will surely start on Friday even if Gruev can be named in the squad, while Gelhardt came off the bench at Carrow Road. Farke was asked about the duo during Wednesday’s press conference before Sunderland.

“I trust my whole squad. Joe Rothwell and Joe Gelhardt, it is important to trust the players and back these players. We are ina competitive environment where everyone is sharp and ready to go,” Farke said.
