00:00Can you check on Curtis Jones, what's the latest on his injury?

00:04Yeah, he went out during half-time, so that's mostly not a good sign,

00:08and it wasn't because he will not be available for the game tomorrow.

00:11The rest we have to wait and see how long it's going to take.

00:15I'm not expecting months, of course.

00:18Not of course, but I'm not expecting months.

00:20But let's see if he's available for PSV or Bournemouth.

00:25Jürgen, I think you've seen how we tried to manage that.

00:39I think we skipped him twice, didn't we?

00:43At least in this game Jorel played and in the Ecclestone game he didn't play as well.

00:51So that is a bit maybe because he still has some pain of his knee,

00:57don't exaggerate it, but he probably feels a bit.

01:02But it's safe for him to play, but it's more the loads where you're aware of

01:07if a player is out for five or six weeks and then play him every three days,

01:10that's in our opinion a certain risk, so we always try to manage that.

01:15I think he now comes to a moment where he would be able to play three times a week.
