00:00Can I ask you an update on the fitness of Erling Haaland for this game?
00:04Don't know yet. Tomorrow we'll know it. I don't know yet.
00:08Hopeful?
00:09Yeah, maybe. But I don't know yet. We didn't train today and until tomorrow he will test, I guess, but I don't know.
00:17How do you think your team is set up to be able to cope without Erling now?
00:22Obviously Omar Mahmoud has made a good impact since he came in.
00:25Do you feel more confident that side can cope without a player like Erling now than maybe a few weeks ago?
00:30It's better to have Erling on the pitch than we don't have it, obviously.
00:34But with Erling we are in the position that we are right now.
00:38Everybody is responsible for the good things and the bad things for the team.
00:42But of course with Erling we are stronger.
00:44John Stones, do you know about him, whether he will be available or not?
00:48He's injured, a difficult one. In the next days we'll know if he needs surgery or not.
00:55So it's a longer period for John then, potentially?
00:57Yeah, like a month or two.
