00:00With Mika'el, there's been a few headlines, is he still on the schedule that was set for him and would you be tempted to try and speed him back because of those problems you got with other injuries?
00:12Well, I don't know. We have a long-term injury, what is faster, you know? In a 10-day injury, three days is a lot because it's 30 per cent.
00:22Three months, a week probably is not that much, but it's too early. It's in an early stage of the rehab, when we get a little bit closer and he starts to do more demanding stuff and more load, we will see where he is.
00:37Just to clarify quickly, there's no setback?
00:39No, no, no, he's fine.
00:41Just finally, are you injuring Ben White back in the squad?
00:44Yeah, Ben has been training more regularly now so we have to still manage a lot his load, but he's going to be available, yes.
