Dani Rodriguez

[Porque]

B team will need Toni Fernandez (without Dani R who is a better player today) back and Urena. They were at their best in the period both of them were fit.

Less than 90 minutes since returning from a 3 month layoff and scored 3 goals across 2 games.

Should be in first team training dynamics sooner rather than later once he reaches full fitness.

Probably the second best AMR at the club? (If Raphi is doing a job on the left) @Messi983 @jamrock

Give him a shot before Sociedad and Bilbao come sniffing in the summer and before he starts thinking a first team role is impossible with Lamine I say.

Would say long term stay in the first team is still very unlikely for him but when healthy he's clearly the best (or second best behind Unai) player of BA and with limited attacking options in first team wouldn't hurt to give him a chance. Maybe he'll take it like Casado (though ofc close to zero chances he would estabilish himself as a starter) but maybe first team exposure would increase his value like Ferran Jutgla few years ago. I think he'll probably be loaned or sold with a buy-back (unlikely to ever be used) in summer but ofc that depends on him staying healthy (big question mark) and play well rest of the season. Then he won't have much more to prove on this level.
