00:00We've asked a few times about Mason Mount and Matis De Ligt.
00:03What is the situation with them?
00:05Because Matis has not played since last time United played Palace
00:08and Mason scored against Palace, so it's kind of a shared history.
00:13Yeah, Mason's getting closer, really.
00:18He's on the grass, he's getting closer,
00:20so he's looking to kind of train and be in and around it pretty soon.
00:24So he's getting close.
00:28He's just had to be patient, really, a little bit.
00:30He's a big player for us, Mason,
00:32so looking after him, making sure he's ready
00:34and a big finish to the season.
00:36So good news that he's getting really close.
00:43Matis, he's had a back issue,
00:44which has just been a little bit slower to progress, really.
00:48It's something that we've been kind of working through.
00:53He's getting there, he's in the right direction,
00:54but as I said, he's just a little bit further behind.
00:57It's one of those things that's disappointing,
00:58but it's unfortunately part of football,
01:02so we'll get him back when we can.
01:03Is there even a remote timescale for him?
01:06Because obviously when he was injured the first time,
01:10Ruben said he'd be back next week,
01:13and clearly we're months down the line now.
01:15We've got an international break coming up.
01:18No, it's just the nature of the injury
01:22and the kind of issue in the back.
01:25It's a difficult one to kind of pin down in some ways,
01:29and especially time-wise.
01:30So he's definitely improving,
01:33so that's a good thing,
01:34and we're just working towards that, really.
01:36There's not much at this stage that I can give you anymore.
01:38There's not much at this stage that I can give you anymore.
01:38There's not much at this stage that I can give you anymore.
01:38There's not much at this stage that I can give you anymore.
01:38There's not much at this stage that I can give you anymore.
