00:00Looking ahead to this weekend, granted, players are only just coming back from international duty,

00:05do you have a relatively clean bill of health? How are you shaping up for this weekend?

00:09If the players are fit, yeah, I think they are.

00:12We trained today for the first time with them, with most of them.

00:17The non-internationals did train with the Inter21s this week already.

00:22Curtis Jones, of course, I don't know if you knew, but he got injured in the last game,

00:27so he will not be available for the game against Burnley.

00:31But I think the rest of them all came back without a problem,

00:37and that's not always the situation, especially at the beginning of the season,

00:43where everybody comes from a different background,

00:46going to the national team where they all of a sudden have to play two games in four or five days,

00:51which is always the biggest risk in November and October and in March,

00:54they are much more used to that programme.

00:57So we are happy that they are fit.

00:59And again, a compliment not only for the Swedish manager but also for the others,

01:04because a few others like Ryan Gravenberg only started one game and not both of them.

01:09and not both of them.
