00:00It's that time of week again that you love answering the first question.

00:04I've seen football managers everywhere hanging on every single word over the next minute or so,

00:10so please tell us, I didn't see Saka training, I didn't see Calipari training,

00:15and I didn't see Luigi in the training. Are any of those players going to make it?

00:20We're going to do our very best to somehow have them available, but obviously it's very, very uncertain.

00:29For all three, Calipari first of all then, that injury, well the incident looked pretty gruesome,

00:43it looked bad, is it? How bad do you think it might be?

00:47He needs some more tests, yesterday he had some, today he's going to have some more,

00:51and from there we will know. Because last time as well we thought it was really bad,

00:56and he ended up playing two days after, or three. So let's see, let's see how it is.

01:02He won't make Sunday, will he, if he's still doing tests to the scheme?

01:06Yeah, well, I said the last time it happened, but this time might be different.

01:12Saka hadn't trained, you said, when you spoke before him on Tuesday.

01:16Has he done any sort of training?

01:18Yeah, he's done a bit of training on the grass.

01:22How far we can get him to Sunday, that's a different question.

01:25We have another day, which is the good thing, that this week we had an extra day, but we will see.

01:30Just finally then, is Timber training on the grass? Is he close? How close would you say he is?

01:36Yeah, Timber, again, it's the first session that he could have some involvement,

01:42he's been out for a while. We're expecting him to be further back where he is at the moment,

01:48but again we'll have to wait and see.
