However, only very few fans are likely to have noticed Riera’s words about his player Ellyes Skhiri. He praised the midfielder, who is currently being used in the back line, in the highest terms.

“He played well because he is so clever and professional. He can be used in all positions across the defensive line,” said Riera. “He is actually a holding midfielder, but in some games he can also play as a center-back.”

It is quite possible that the Tunisian will line up there against HSV as well.
