00:00For yourselves, how do you weigh up the positivity of two wins on the bounce against the injury suffered by Mangala and Dominic Calvert-Lewis?
00:07Well, it's an incredible big blow to us because to lose two players and...
00:12But the one thing that did come out of it is we took three points out of the game, which was the real positive from the game,
00:18but the blow was to lose the two players for quite a long period by the looks of it.
00:22But we have to go on, that's what happens.
00:26Football clubs do get injuries and you have to find other ways of getting results and players stepping up and showing what they can do.
00:33Any clearer idea of a timescale for Dominic and will Mangala go back or will he stay with you?
00:39I believe that Mangala will go back. I think we're waiting for the surgeon to clear it and I think he'll be operated on in France, as far as I know.
00:50Dom isn't as bad. Dom doesn't need any surgery. He's been checked.
00:55So from that point of view, it's not a good injury, but it's maybe not quite as bad as we first feared when we got it.
01:02So from that point of view, we're hoping that that might not be as long as maybe first expected.
01:08So hope that he will play again this season?
01:10Absolutely, yeah.
