Will Mastroeni play the pivot with Larentowicz out?

Jeff plays a very special position, sitting just above the defensive line and charged with distributing the ball to his more upfield midfielders and the winger/striker combos, with almost no room for error. It's one of the hardest positions on a football pitch that you can play, so who will take over for the talented Larentowicz?

Mastroeni going back makes sense to me because there's so many more options for replacing Pablo in his attack based high role than there are good candidates to take the pivot spot in the back of the middle three. Tony Cascio has played that sort of role before, Martin Rivero should be available as well. Mastroeni being the back central man in the middle three of the 4-3-3 is an easy prediction to make, because it makes plenty of sense.
