With regards to Ellis, he has only recently come back from a long time on the side lines, it would not be resting him, it would be protecting him from injury if his is not picked.
Now, imagine the conversation "So Gaz, I don't want you to get huirt ahead of Wembley, are you ok to sit this one out?"
I would sincerely hope Ellis retort was short, to the point and ended with "and I will play"
