00:00Can I start with some of the fitness of the squad?

00:02I know you might have a start at the front,

00:04but you've done a single spot.

00:05Is he going to make it to the squad?

00:06Yes, I think so, yeah.

00:08Has anyone else been affected by that bug?

00:10No, the ones with the illness, I think they're going to be OK, hopefully.

00:14They were trained today and if everybody's fine,

00:17they should be available.

00:18Can I ask about Radim Sterling as well?

00:20What's the update on him?

00:23Yeah, I think he's starting to do some stuff on the pitch,

00:26so that's great news.

00:28So, yeah, as quick as possible, we want him available,

00:30let's see how he progresses next week,

00:32and then see if we get him available for the following week.

00:35Just find a couple as well, Ben White and Tommy Asin, how are they getting on?

00:39Ben is still a few weeks away, and Tommy, again, he's done some stuff on the pitch,

00:44but now it's to see, obviously he's been a long-term injury,

00:48and we need to see how quickly he can progress and how Danny reacts,

00:53but hopefully good.

00:55Declan Rice, he was on the bench for the Brentford game,

00:58he's played games for the rest of January,

01:00is that something you're going to have to continue doing,

01:02to manage the minutes?

01:04Yeah, in his case especially, he's played so much football,

01:08we had nine games in this period, in this month,

01:11and he had some niggles in the last few games, he had to come off,

01:14and yeah, we have to manage every player, and he's not an exception for sure.
