When the Spain captain was dropped by Jose Mourinho, most assumed that it was an exercise in political power. That Carlo Ancelotti has stuck with Diego Lopez in his stead perhaps suggests that there was sporting merit to Mourinho’s move. Casillas will hope to go to the World Cup buoyed by triumph in the Champions League, in which he does play.
Martin Caceres (Juventus)
The 26-year-old Uruguayan is a very complete footballer for a defender, and he is comfortable as a wing-back as well as in the centre. Unfortunately for him, he is competing with one of the world’s best right wing-backs in Stephan Lichtsteiner, so he must feed on scraps of action.
Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa (Newcastle United)
It’s rare for a signing from Ligue 1 to not hit the mark at St James’ Park, but that has been the case for the former Montpellier captain. Yanga-Mbiwa has disappointed but it’s not entirely his fault. He’s never had a decent run in his best position of centre-back, being used all too often at full-back and even in defensive midfield. It’s Newcastle’s loss.
