00:00 What are your fitness concerns?
00:12 Some of them have been progressing better than others. We have a training session again
00:19 today, some of them they don't have a few bits this week. I'm positive that hopefully
00:26 we're going to get a few back for tomorrow.
00:27 Any definitely ruled out for tomorrow?
00:31 At the moment no.
00:32 Given the week you've got and the fact that you are managing a couple of those injuries,
00:40 how important is it to use your squad in the right way bearing in mind you've got Porto
00:45 and Newcastle at the moment?
00:47 We have to go game by game because at the moment in certain positions in the last few
00:51 weeks we didn't really have a choice. We have to play them, we didn't have any other players
00:55 to do so. We had a chance during matches especially to make some changes and adjust the minutes
01:00 and the load of certain players. We have tried to manage that in the best way because as
01:05 you said it's going to be really important.
01:07 From the fact that none of them are at this stage of the season, there's no serious,
01:11 no worse, like Jesus isn't going to be longer?
01:14 No, there's no big setbacks on any of those injuries. Thomas Partey as well is progressing
01:20 really well.
01:21 I don't want to say too much but he's looking very good and he's on the field already.
