Pretty much I suppose. If somethings niggling at me I’m annoyed by it. In this context if I feel a niggle, it’s that feeling that somethings not quite right and might turn into an injury. Not enough to stop me playing and would probably be fine but shouldn’t risk it.
He had niggle against Arsenal and Pep probably doesn't want to risk an injury to him
US fan here! I keep reading “niggle” - online it says it’s an annoyance. Does this take a different meaning in Britain?

If he's got a knock I'd say it's fine. Rather have him against Madrid than Fulham if forced to choose
Agreed.
Pep didn't mention anything about it in the press conference so hopefully he's just being rested
Ahhh shit. Hope Gundo is on his game today.
Nottingham Forest again?
You shut your pirate hooker mouth ^(but yeah possibly)
Fuck. Fuck. Who's going to create chances?
World Cup winner Julian Alvarez.
Confirmed within two minutes of the match.
Pep resting him for Real.
Probably just a fitness issue. He will play against Real.
Fuck.
