00:00Obviously Freddie did great on his Premier League debut last week,
00:03but it would be a bonus, so I imagine to have Alisson back for this weekend as well.
00:07How is Ali, how far away is he at the moment?
00:10For us it's a bonus every player that comes back,
00:12because now if you add Mo to the injury list it's getting longer and longer,
00:18but that's been throughout the whole season.
00:20Ali hasn't trained with us yet, very close to training with us,
00:24so I have to hear today from the medical staff if he's able to train today,
00:28or either tomorrow or otherwise, start of next week.
00:32So he's very close, but we are of course, also we don't want to take any risk,
00:38because that's never what you do with a player and that's also what we do now.
00:43If he hasn't trained yet, it would be a big ask to imagine to come straight back,
00:47and even a keeper of Ali's point?
00:49Yeah, I think there's a difference between a goalkeeper and a player.
00:53If a player hasn't trained for a few weeks,
00:54then players need to run much more than goalkeepers do.
01:00So I don't think the issue with a player is when he's out for four or five weeks
01:03that he forgot to know how to play football,
01:06it's usually that the fitness levels are not at the levels to play at this intensity
01:09that the Premier League is asking.
01:10So there's a difference between the goalkeeper and the outfield player.
01:15Thank you very much.
