He shouldn't lose his place in the team (6)
I believe the answer is:
keeper
This clue might be a double definition.
'he shouldn't' is the first definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
'lose his place in the team' is the second definition.
The answer is a person as well as being a singular noun. This is suggested by the definition.
Can you help me to learn more?
