00:00How is Federico doing? Is this a game where he could potentially start,

00:05or does he still need to be managed a bit carefully?

00:07It's definitely a moment where he can get minutes,

00:10and the amount of minutes is a question mark.

00:13You cannot expect from him to play 90, I think, especially not on this level,

00:19where the intensity is so high, because he's been out for five or six months now.

00:25But if he has a good training session he will make minutes,

00:30but it's going to be a game where not all our starters will start,

00:35so we have to manage minutes.

00:38If we want to use a few starters, not for 90 minutes,

00:42so we have to balance.

00:43I can only make five substitutions, if you know what I mean.

00:47The ones that make minutes and go off maybe at half-time can be more than five,

00:54because you can only make five substitutions.

00:56So he will make minutes, Federico, tomorrow.

01:02If he starts or comes in or plays the second half,

01:05that's something we have to make a decision about during this day.
