”Today is the first day the players have trained together as a whole and it is the first time they have trained together again, so let’s see how everyone is after this session.”
”Mac Allister has missed one game (for Argentina) and Kostas (Tsimikas) has missed the game against England. We have some problems but we have to see what happens after today.”
”(On Alisson Becker’s injury) It’s clear that Alisson will not be with us for the coming weeks. It’s a disappointment for him and for us.”
”He has done really well this ยูฟ่าเบท season and has been a great player for the club over the last few seasons.”
”The good thing now is that Caoimhin (Kelleher) has done well for us before and it shows we have a good replacement.”
Meanwhile, Alisson suffered a thigh injury in the last league game at Crystal Palace two weeks ago, while Harvey Elliott has an ankle injury and will miss the remaining games this month. Federico Chiesa and Wataru Endo will have to wait and see their fitness.
