00:00How's Manuel Akanji?
00:03Surgery on Saturday, 8-10 weeks out.
00:08What is the injury?
00:11Abductor, I think so, it was broken.
00:16Given you've had defensive issues all season in terms of getting players back,
00:21and then they're injured again, and it keeps happening, how frustrating is it?
00:25Only we wish the best recovery from Manu for Spidi,
00:29because the effort that he has done this season has been unbelievable,
00:33because him and Nathan as well played in difficult conditions,
00:38not being on top, and to have the team in an emergency position that we had,
00:45in lack of players in that position,
00:48and at the end the body said, enough is enough.
