Joe is our starter, that is clear, but coming from such a long layoff and with Matip playing as well as he is, no need to rush him. Get him some minutes with the U23s and make sure he is fully ready before playing because every game is too important to let him find his feet in one of them.
We also have Lovren back so it's not like we're hurting for numbers. Take a patient approach and maybe he could be our RB, as FL Red mentioned, and give Arnold a break.
