Brau's future and who should start opener against Arsenal?

[BBC] [Getty Images] The third part of a special Q&A with BBC CWR's Rob Gurney and Will Oelrich looks at one defender's future and the potential starting XI for the season opener against Arsenal . Harry asked : Do you think Miguel Angel Brau has a future at Coventry City? Will : It's been a tough spell for the Spanish left‑back. Miguel has managed just 11 appearances for the Sky Blues, with only three starts, during that time and promotion to the Premier League will squeeze his minutes even further. Jay Dasilva was outstanding last season and it's hard to see him being dislodged. Meanwhile, Jake Bidwell is entering the final year of his deal - he could seek regular football elsewhere or be happy to provide cover along the backline next season with the acceptance of minimal game time. That's why another left‑back arriving to provide competition for Dasilva wouldn't surprise me. Miguel only signed a four‑year contract 12 months ago, so a loan move feels far more likely than a permanent exit. At 24, he needs games - and a season in League One might be exactly what he needs Listen to Sky Blues Fancast Live every Monday and Friday at 18:00 and subscribe to the Coventry City page on BBC Sounds Allan asked : Who in the current squad could or should be in the line-up against Arsenal? Rob: If a deal is done for Carl Rushworth, he would be one - off the back of his outstanding Championship title/Golden Glove-winning season. Milan van Ewijk is someone whose athleticism looks to be suited to the much higher level. I've always been a big Jack Rudoni fan and despite his injury problems last season, by the time he returned towards the end of the campaign, he showed what a talented player he is. He could display those qualities in the Premier League. Matt Grimes and Frank Onyeka deserve the chance to show they can be the midfield pivot in the top division. I like the look of both Tats Sakamoto and Ephron Mason-Clark, too. The biggest issue is up front because it's certainly debatable whether Haji Wright or Ellis Simms have what it takes to be a Premier League number nine. That's a question Frank Lampard is no doubt pondering as well. Come back later on Friday for the final part of the Q&A, which will focus on any benefit of Coventry not having many players at the World Cup.
