Interesting to see Meslier spend the entire of half time practicing in the goals . Normal bielsa policy is all subs to listen at halftime as they will need to know the plan should they come on.
Suggest it would me1 of 2 things
Either the club already know the players fate and he’s banned or
Bielsa finer eye for detail
Either way it’s clear he was gaining some time in the goals whilst in front of the crowd and preparing to play in the next game.
UPDATE : Seems ive written a load of rubbish and Kiko hurt his hand punching thin air in the first half. Meslier may have been required second half.
Kiko already banned?

Did well to make that save at the end if he was playing with broken fingers
Two clean sheets can't have hurt his confidence. A shame hes going to get a 12 game ban now.

If the decision is made it would have been broadcast prior to KO to upset the team. We all know the EFL love to kick us in the nuts when they can.

video, posted on Twitter claims that the keeper was nursing a hand injury in the second half. That is still unknown, but if true it makes his last-gasp save even more impressive.

If Kiko has broken fingers coaching team knew it during the game it’s really strange to not see him subbed as bielsa talks a lot about injuries.
Either it wasn’t that bad or Bielsa not as trusting in meslier or there is this clause which is affecting team selection.
If he does have broken fingers can’t see how he plays next match.
