00:00A quick turnaround, so I don't expect you to know much more about Ferdi Kadiroglu's

00:04injury, but is there anyone else that maybe wasn't involved last night

00:08who could come back on Saturday?

00:12So we have to see how Lewis is today, we have to see how Sumadu O Rielly is back in training.

00:20When he will be ready for a potential player in the squad,

00:25also Joao, Petr will be back, so some players will be back on the pitch,

00:31and I think with Ferdi it's not that bad, so hopefully he will be also an option for Saturday.

00:38So Shao Petro is definitely back for the Liverpool game?

00:41Yeah, we have to see. He's coming back after a long injury,

00:45if he will be an option, but he's back in training, yeah.

00:48It's been great to see Matt O'Reilly in the pictures that the club have

00:51posted on social media. So how has his recovery been,

00:54what sort of shape is he in now, obviously in contention to play

00:57for some part on Saturday? That sounds like good news.

01:00Yeah, in a good shape, so mentally in a very strong shape. He's really looking forward

01:07to making his really first debut. I think the first one was really short,

01:11so he expected the next one to be a little bit longer.

01:14And he worked hard in the rehab, he's a very good character, he's

01:19part of the group even when he was injured, and he's getting integrated even when he was

01:23injured and that shows his great character. And that's why we're really happy for him that

01:28it's going that fast. So also thanks for the medical team, for all the physios who

01:33worked really hard with him to make this come back so quick, and now we're really looking

01:39forward to have him on the pitch. Has it taken you by surprise quite

01:42how quickly he has come back? We didn't expect it that quickly,

01:48but like I said, we have great experts in our medical team, great experts with our

01:53physios, they do great work. They're very passionate in helping the players and I think

02:01it's so important to bring the players back as quick as possible and also to have a positive

02:08energy to make them also positive in their rehab. That's why I'm very, very thankful for all of them

02:15and also the intrinsic motivation from the mutual players. Like I said before,

02:20Matt was on the first day positive. I think a lot of players, when they suffer this injury,

02:25they need some time, but immediately after surgery he had a very, very positive mindset

02:32and if you have this then these comebacks are possible.
