00:00Talking about that Chelsea game now, I am a little bit worried because I think they'll be without a key player for that one.
00:04A man that always turns up for the big games, a man that you need, Joe Linton.
00:09You were in the press conference there and you'd be really better than me, but what I'd seen, I'd seen the quote,
00:15and I wasn't sure it meant he was definitely out, but you thought it was a concern, didn't you?
00:20It certainly was concerning because Eddie Howe said Joe Linton trained yesterday, still feeling his knee,
00:27which was the knee injury that kept him out for a prolonged period and he's been for a scan.
00:32And whenever a player goes for a scan, is it a scan as a precaution?
00:35Eddie Howe didn't say that, so you don't know, but I think whenever a player goes for a scan on a historic injury,
00:42there's probably not a great sign.
00:44It's a fact that he's been playing through it because he's been feeling it for a few weeks,
00:48I don't think he's ever gone away from it really, but he's battled through it and the fact that he had to,
00:51because he trained yesterday, the fact that he had to stop and see us and the intervention he had.
