CL is more decided by space/counters in offense, especially with speed and some indvidual spark, which Cuadrado provides plenty of when given the opportunity. A very useful unpredictable weapon in our corner that will sorely be missed. Kind of player he is exactly what we need more of in CL, daring and full of skill.
we still may go with a front 3 instead of a front 4, that practically guarantees Sturaro as a destroyer in some Serie A game before or after CL
on a more serious note, we'd be really fucked if we didn't have Costa/Berna duo. Cuads is still a big loss, but at least we have options now, hopefully he can give us a hand in the last weeks of the season
He was pretty unimpressive against Barca too. We must have pretty low standards if we call Cuadrado a clutch player in CL honestly. I do agree on his day , he could really turn it up but he's not some key puzzle in CL that we're going to miss. Time to give opportunities now to the more deserving ones e.g. Bernardeschi.
I don't think he will play in 30 days, it will take at least two weeks for him to recover and he won't be that fit anyway. I guess he will feature by the end of the season or not at all and just focus on playing the World Cup.
