00:00Bukayo and Deca came off early in that Real Madrid game.

00:05Are they OK after the game?

00:07And also, is Ricciardo pressing well enough to maybe make this weekend or even the second lead?

00:13Yeah, so with Deca and Bukayo, they are both fit.

00:16So it was just a matter of two kicks and they recovered well.

00:19So they are available for tomorrow and Ricci is progressing really well.

00:23I think to give you a timeline difficult because he needs to step up,

00:28especially having more people around and how Dani reacts after that.

00:32But he is in a good place, I think.

00:35It was 104 days since Saka got injured to when he then returned.

00:40From the announcement of Havertz's injury,

00:43it will be 108 days to the last game of the season.

00:47Is there a chance that we could see Kaia back?

00:50So we have some extra days there.

00:53Let's see, every injury is the same.

00:56The mindset of those two, though, very, very similar.

00:59Great injury history, great work ethic.

01:03Desperate to get back playing as quick as possible.

01:06And a great medical staff as well to look after them.

01:09So hopefully we can have him, but let's wait, I think.

01:13Once you get to the last stage of that rehab,

01:15is when you can understand better how close you are to make that next step.

01:21You.

01:28That's it?

01:33You can find them in the next step.

01:34What else have happened to you?

01:36How close their homes are, in the next step.
