We’re sure Lavia’s ongoing issues have meant they’ve always been concerned, and this latest issue won’t have changed much. The real frustration this season has been that Dario Essugo has not been able to play a minute of first team football thanks to an injury of his own.

If the Chelsea of the Spurs and Liverpool games show up, we should have Qarabag, in the bag.

In the other early game, Pafos earned its first-ever league-phase win by beating Spanish club Villarreal 1-0 at home in Cyprus.
