00:07 Hello.
00:23 Can you bring us up to date on the situation with the condition
00:28 of the players, Phil Foden, Manuel Akanji, and John Stones?
00:32 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
00:33 Right now, Phil is completely recovered from his illness.
00:42 Manu is-- Manu's problem was more for prevention.
00:46 It wasn't anything serious.
00:48 He's more or less there, and John were more or less there as well.
00:51 Any other problems?
00:53 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
00:56 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
00:58 No, with Biyak, we're OK.
01:01 We're still fine.
01:02 We're OK.
01:03 It's not decisive.
01:04 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
01:23 It's the same as the previous game, but with Pep,
01:27 with more energy, there would be more energy with Pep.
01:31 We're in complete contact with Pep all the time.
01:35 We share as well.
01:37 We share our responsibility.
01:38 He always likes to share.
01:40 We have our roles very well defined by him,
01:42 and we continue on the right path.
01:44 But he obviously continues to intervene.
01:49 So we're not quite finished in our preparation for the game.
01:53 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
01:54 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
02:03 I speak very regularly with him, not just in footballing terms,
02:16 professional terms.
02:19 He's much, much better.
02:20 He's a lot, lot better.
02:22 Things are taking place the way that they should do,
02:25 and I feel really happy to hear that.
02:28 All of us feel delighted.
02:30 We are really, really looking forward to him getting back.
02:33 We can't wait.
02:35 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
02:45 I still don't know.
02:46 I know that he's going to be a City player,
02:52 but if he's going to be available, I still don't know.
02:54 I don't have that information.
02:55 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
02:58 No, he still won't be training.
03:02 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:08 Cole Palmer.
03:09 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
03:10 Well, I'm not going to--
03:20 don't need to send messages out, but this is the reality.
03:23 We can't--
03:24 It's very difficult to go against the player's wishes.
03:29 When a player wants to go, it's very difficult to go against that.
03:35 And obviously, we have to work out the operation
03:38 that has value for the club as well.
03:40 On the other side, there's a pride that--
03:43 that these kind of young players keep creating player upon player.
03:51 They're starting to give life to the rest of the country within Chelsea.
03:56 We have to be pride and satisfied as a club,
03:59 Manchester City, that we've done this.
04:01 And to deny a footballer the opportunity to do what he wants to do
04:04 is very, very difficult.
04:05 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
04:07 You can ask me things, but what I can't give you is an answer to this.
04:26 Of course you can ask, no problem.
04:29 But to be honest, I have nothing to add.
04:31 Because I've been in training, I've just come here to the press conference.
04:34 I have nothing that I can add to help you with that question.
04:38 [SPEAKING SPANISH]
04:42 before the embargo.
