The centre-back played 88 minutes as the Robins lost 3-2 to Salford, ending their five-match winning streak in all competitions. In League One, Will Alves made his first start for Huddersfield but could not make an impact as the Terriers’ stutter continued. However, Alves could get a chance to showcase his qualities in front of Pep Guardiola on Wednesday evening following a rule change. ‌Previously, Alves would have been cup-tied for Huddersfield’s Carabao Cup game at home to Manchester City having played for Leicester against Huddersfield in the first round. However, a rule change for this season means that players can now represent two different clubs in the competition, making him eligible.
