00:00Let's talk about team news. Is there any injury doubts going into this one? And I also wanted
00:04to just see if you've got any timelines on players returning, the likes of Pervis, Evan,
00:10Tariq?
00:11So they were all in training. We have to wait now, today and tomorrow, how the rehab and
00:21the training continues, how they adapt the intensity and then we will see if they will
00:27be an option for the squad. But I'm very happy that these three players are back.
00:32And Jorginho Routier has added to your squad this week. How excited are you that he's part
00:39of Brighton now and part of your team and what can fans expect from him? And also is
00:44he available as well for the weekend?
00:47So also for him we have to wait, how he adapts. But he had some games already in the pre-season
00:53for Leeds. He's a little bit German, he's a little bit from the UK and a little bit
01:00French so there's a mix of everything inside his character. He's laughing a lot and I think
01:06he will be integrated fast in the group and that's the most important. And then on the
01:12other side of course I'm convinced that he will help us on the pitch by his attitude
01:18working against the ball, by his quality in possession. He has something special and
01:24I know him or I knew him since he played for Hoffenheim and I followed his way. So he will
01:30be a big, big player for Brighton and I'm really looking forward to him and I'm happy
01:34that he's here in the squad.
