Appropriate and right to keep team, except that Wan-Bissaka finally replaces Maguire at the back (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

relevant

This might be a double definition.

'appropriate' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'right to keep team except that wan-bissaka finally replaces maguire at the back' is the second definition.
'relevant' can be an answer for 'right' (thesaurus). I am not sure about the rest of the definition.

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for relevant that I've seen before include "Closely connected (to the matter in hand)" , "Germane or pertinent" , "Bearing on the issue in hand" , "Apposite" , "Material" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
