Lenny's thoughts over the next 2 games should be about preparing for Hampden.
I'd love to see Ryan Christie back for the semi final, he offers us something the other midfielders don't.
He would need to get some game time before then probably but unlike Rogic he is capable of coming back in after a break without being too rusty.
Assuming KT and Boyata don't make it I expect we will go with:
Bain
Lustig
Ajer
Benkovic
Hayes
Brown
Ntcham
McGregor
Forrest
Sinclair/Burke
Eddie
We could have a strong bench with Weah, Burke or Sinclair, Christie and Rogic.
I would like to see Burke tried on the left wing in the next two games to see how he does there.
Bayo will hopefully get some action but I don't expect him to make the semi final squad.

In the main stand. He injured his foot on Friday so wasn't risked

Doubt we'll see Benkovic or any of the other loan players too much now to be honest.
Benkovic and Ajer at the back would be ideal though.
I suspect this will be the team on Wednesday:
Bain
Toljan
Lustig
Ajer
Izzy
Brown
Ntcham
Forrest
Rogic
Sinclair
Eddy
Wouldn't mind McGregor getting a wee rest before the semi final.

Did Bayo not get an injury on international duty?

Massive game for us.
Even more massive for Aberdeen.
Sheep are krap just now but this is a Cup game anything can happen.
