With numerous injuries at the start of the season, Roberto De Zerbi has put his trust in the club's youngsters in recent weeks. Among them is Robinio Vaz. The young prospect has scored four goals and provided two assists in nine appearances. Asked about him this Friday, Roberto De Zerbi discussed the possibility of linking him up with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

"It's possible, they can play together. It's also possible because some players need to rest. We have to find solutions, and pairing them could be one. Robinio and Aubameyang can play together, with Paixao on the left and Greenwood on the right. I've already played with four forwards at Sassuolo and Brighton. It's a question of the players' physical energy. We also have to decide what kind of team we want to be, because all the traveling takes a toll as well. It gives some players a boost, while for others, it drains their energy," he said in his press conference.
