Transcript

00:00Can we start with just a little bit of round-up of availability.

00:05Cole Palmer, where is he at in terms of his fitness?

00:10How much is this kind of an injury that's fit or not,

00:14or how much is this about managing him over the next few months?

00:17Cole took part of the session yesterday for the first time,

00:23not the entire session.

00:25Today in the afternoon we have one more session.

00:28We're going to try with him, if it's OK.

00:35Otherwise, he will be out tomorrow again.

00:39Is this a case of managing him, or is it a case of an injury that he's got?

00:44No, no, it was injury.

00:48He's recovered from the injury.

00:50He's not managing him, it's just a recovery from the injury.

00:57For sure, in the moment that he's available,

00:59we also probably need to think to manage that it will be him,

01:02because of the amount of games.

01:06In terms of Liam Dillac, do you know any more about his availability?

01:11No, Liam, I think it's around 10-12 weeks.

01:17So.

01:18So.

01:19So.
