00:00With those players that have been missing, so where are we at with Brantwaite, Mikalenko, Coleman and Paterson first of all?
00:06Well, first of all, Mikalenko is looking good, so that's a good step in the right direction.
00:12Shames is back in the group and he's had more or less the week.
00:15Jared's a bit behind them, but he's been on the grass with us, but a little bit behind them.
00:21Who's the one I'm missing, you mentioned? Oh, Pato, yeah.
00:23Well, he's just on his longer-term plan to get him back, but he's looking fitter and sharper all the time.
00:28Not quite there yet, but he's training all the time and so far he's coming through it clean, which is really important.
00:33That's it, clear of injuries. And Schimitty and Brogier as well?
00:36Yeah, a bit longer-term. Youssef's been incredibly unlucky, probably the most unlucky out of all of them with the oddest injury,
00:44and he's making good progress now. He's on the grass with the sports scientists and so is Brogier,
00:48so he's in front of Youssef with his comeback, if one had a better way of putting it.
00:53He will need a games programme, but he's certainly working actively now with the sports science group
00:57and hopefully he'll be crossing over with us soon.
01:00And obviously we saw Limon and Di come off with seemingly an injury in the first game against Malawi,
01:05then he came on as a substitute for Senegal in the second game.
01:07So how is he? Has he come through unscathed?
01:09Yeah, yeah, it's settled down really quickly.
01:11I think it was one of them that had to be cautious at first, but it's settled down and he was clear-minded.
01:16We spoke to him, he said, no, no, I'm clear to be involved in that second game.
01:20And he's come back and he's trained today, so we're hopeful on that one.
