  1. Settling well into the dressing room

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. The bond between them was already strong, so the morale hit should be limited.
    Outlook
    Settling-in period is still under way.

  2. Rotated out for this match

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Albert García was preferred — a chance to give him cup minutes.
    Cause
    Cup rotation: the manager rested regulars for this round.

    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.
