00:00Bukaya is doing better, but he will be out for a few weeks, unfortunately.

00:06What is it? Is it his hamstring? No surgery required?

00:11No, no surgery. It's not as bad as the previous one.

00:16Obviously very unfortunate to pick it up, he's on the other side.

00:19It's an action that requires full power from him.

00:23Then he clashes with the opponent, he needs to change pace again,

00:26and he felt something, so he will be out for a couple of weeks.

00:29So do you hope, and I know you don't know because you're not a doctor,

00:33but do you hope that when you resume club football he might be available?

00:37I don't know. Let's see how he evolves in the next few days, few weeks.

00:42Repeat the scan and see where he's at.

00:44And with Martin, he's obviously been selected for his national squad.

00:49What's the situation with him?

00:51We don't know yet. He hasn't trained yet.

00:53And if he does, it will be tomorrow.

00:55And let's see. He's doing everything he can.

00:58We're doing everything that we can to make him available,

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

01:03So that's definitely not serious?

01:06No, there is an injury there, but hopefully if everything goes well,

01:10he can cope with it, but we don't know yet.

01:13So with Kai Havertz, we know he's had surgery.

01:16Is that weeks rather than months before he's recovered?

01:20I think it will be weeks, but I don't know how many months.

01:23Very unfortunate, very sad for him.

01:26I think he did tremendously well to recover from the previous one.

01:29He's never had an injury before.

01:31And suddenly this happens.

01:33But this is our profession, part of football.

01:36We need to live with that.

01:37Obviously we lose another big player for many, many weeks.

01:41But it was the right thing to do, you know.

01:44And the doctor's advice.

01:46And I think he was very convinced at the end

01:50that it was the quickest and the best way to resolve that issue.

01:54All right.

01:56All right.
