00:00Hi Pep, sorry can I just clarify what you said there, you said Ruben's out for a long time?
00:05I said yes, yeah, three or four weeks we'll be out, yeah.
00:09Three or four weeks, okay, and what's the issue?
00:12Muscular, 75 minutes against United felt something in him,
00:17but he's so strong and he wants to stay on the pitch and now he's injured.
00:23I was about to ask you whether your injury situation was going to get better with Manuel Akanji,
00:29is he potentially being back?
00:30Yeah, it's good that Manuel and John are back training for the last two days,
00:33so that's good for us.
00:35And John Stones and Kovacic obviously were back on the bench
00:38and part of the squad for Manchester United,
00:40is that a boost for you to have those back available for this game?
00:42Yeah, of course, the more players we come back the better.
