00:00What's the latest position with Mateo Rielly, what's his prognosis?
00:12Like we expected, a bad injury. He needs a surgery on his ankle. I can't say how long
00:19we expect him to be out. We have to look how the rehab will go. But of course it's a tough
00:27one for us. We try to support him the best way we can. We try to get him as fast as possible
00:34on the pitch. Let's hope he will be back soon.
00:38It's terrible luck for Mateo Rielly and the club. How is he? Have you spoken to him since
00:43Tuesday night?
00:44I had a small chat with him yesterday. Of course it's not the best situation, he's very
00:51very disappointed. But he's a good character. He's a very positive guy. He looks immediately
00:58in the future and says he will be back soon. He will come back stronger. That's a very
01:04positive thing, what I like. This attitude is very important, that you also stay mentally
01:08strong in tough moments like this. You can't change it in the end. That's why I think he
01:16will come back stronger.
