00:00Good morning. Could we just have a little bit of overall team news to get us going, please?
00:07Yeah, Nico, as you already know, Nico will be out until international break,
00:14probably available after the international break.
00:17Margio also will be out for a while.
00:22Romeo Lavia is in the process to be back, to come back with us.
00:29Then Benoit Bagliasili, exactly the same.
00:33And Wes Fofana started to work with us two days ago.
00:39That means that he still needs two, three weeks at least to be 100% fit with us,
00:45but at least start to work with us.
00:48And in terms of Jackson, how come it is so much longer than you originally thought?
00:54Yeah, because we knew that it was a muscle problem,
00:57but we didn't know how important it was,
01:01because his feeling, his reaction was quite good.
01:05So we all thought that it was not a big injury,
01:11but unfortunately he had the scan a few days ago.
01:15This is an important one and it will be around six, eight weeks.
01:20And Mark's knee injury, what's the problem?
01:24Exactly the same, muscle problem.
01:30Mark, I think, has some strength to him.
