00:03Is that going to mean he can rejoin you in training sooner, maybe play sooner?

00:08Yeah, yeah.

00:10We don't know when, but for sure it will be soon.

00:16It's already on pitch, it's already touching the ball, and the feeling is good.

00:23But you're not ruling it out, even though you're not talking about the Arsenal game today.

00:27Could still be a possibility.

00:30I don't think so at the moment.

00:32What happened?

00:33It was at night, he was getting up to go maybe to the toilet, I don't know, when he hit his toe.

00:37Do you know more details about what happened?

00:41The last time I spoke about Cole was in the last press conference.

00:47And the last time I spoke with Cole was yesterday, just after the session, to ask how was his feeling.

00:52That, again, was a good feeling.

00:55But I didn't ask him details about the injury at all.

01:00Simon, in the front here, please.
