00:00 Yeah, he's training fully today as well.
00:05 It was a slight strain in his hamstring and as I said he's available for selection, which
00:10 is a main thing.
00:11 But we've got a few players in that position to think about and just making sure that he's
00:16 ready to go.
00:17 We don't want him to be on the pitch and something happen again.
00:20 You can't sign players and sign 26 players and have them for a full year under contract.
00:27 Things can change so quickly and as I said, the mentality that I've driven with the boys
00:34 is it could be a last hurrah for everyone, if you know what I mean.
00:39 Players wise, there's no guarantees with national team football for anybody.
00:43 Out of 26 players that came to the World Cup last year, there's only 12 here.
00:47 It moves on very quickly.
00:50 So you treat every game as your last game.
00:53 That's the most important thing.
