00:00The date, if I'm not mistaken, is after our game against Crystal Palace on the weekend

00:06that the players will go.

00:08It will be Omar and Nuri as well.

00:12So this will be their final game this weekend, essentially?

00:15Yes, normally, yes.

00:17Obviously, we have a strong squad.

00:20Of course, they are two really important players.

00:23We will miss Omar and Nuri for sure,

00:25but we are strong enough as a squad to cope with the absence.

00:28And how do you see the tournament?

00:30Who do you think will be the favourites?

00:33Where do you see it playing out?

00:35The north country of Africa are always really strong.

00:38Of course, Morocco, Egypt, Algeria, they're always really strong.

00:45But obviously, my country, of course, Ivory Coast,
