if spain got this far without him maybe they dont need to rush him back, but i still think his creativity is worth the gamble even off the bench for a spark

If he’s fit enough for 60 mins I’d start him honestly, you don’t leave that kind of vision on the bench in a knockout game. Otherwise sub him on at halftime so he doesn’t get stuck watching extra time from the sideline.

If he cant press for a full 90, Id save him for the last 30 minutes when the game opens up and legs get heavy. France will sit deep so you want his passing when the space finaly appears.
