How are Jackson and Guido after the injury?
00:29
Mark, unfortunately, it's a bad injury and Nico is better.
00:38
Is Jackson fit for this weekend?
00:42
Could be, also could be a risk, we'll see, but it doesn't look like a long injury.
00:51
Guido is long term?
00:53
Could be, yeah.
00:54
Can you tell us any more?
00:55
No, because we are still waiting, but it doesn't look like a short injury.
01:01
It looks like a long injury.
01:04
Exactly how long?
01:05
I don't know.
01:06
Weeks?
01:07
Months?
01:08
Yeah, probably weeks, months, yeah.
01:11
And Lavia?
01:12
Any update?
01:13
No, no.
01:14
Romeo is still in the process to come back, but it's still a long way to go.
01:19
In terms of the injury to strikers, I know Jackson is not serious, are you confident
01:23
you've got enough cover there?
01:25
Yeah, absolutely.
01:27
Before last games we had two strikers, Nico and Mark.
01:33
Sometimes we had that also Cristo there, but in case both are out, we're going to find
01:39
some different solution.
01:41
Reflecting on the transfer window, how happy were you with the business you did?
01:46
Would you like to have added a striker to your squad ideally?
01:49
No, I think I said after the game, the worst time game probably, that the things that we
01:56
planned, we did everything in terms of players that they had the desire to leave and players
02:04
that we need.
02:05
At the end I think we did all the things that we need.
02:09
And could we see Cristo and could he play a bigger role going forward for the rest of
02:13
the season?
02:14
Yeah, for sure, for sure.
02:16
I spoke already last week about Cristo, probably against West Ham he played already more or
02:24
less half an hour and hopefully from now on he can get more minutes and help us.
02:30
Can you see him really showing his best side, reaching his potential here?
02:34
Absolutely, absolutely yes.
02:36
I was with the club all together, we were sure before the window transfer that Cristo
02:43
was one of the players that our intention was to keep him.
02:49
I just wanted to ask about Jean-Philippe in that regard, what happened there?
02:52
Because I think earlier in the window you said you wanted to keep him but then maybe
02:56
towards the end he was allowed to go to AC Milan?
02:59
Nothing happened, simply I said many times that players train every day and they want
03:04
to play all the games but unfortunately they are just 11 playing all the games and we decided
03:12
all together that it was a good option for him to leave.
03:15
What did he say to you about his games and stuff like that?
03:19
Was he frustrated with the lack of minutes?
03:21
No.
03:22
Is he leaving helping in Cancun as well?
03:24
No, to be honest he never complained, he has been very good with us professionally, it's
03:29
just a matter of my decision and I said many times the reason why is because I think we
03:36
need a defensive balance and when you have so many attacking players sometimes you can
03:40
concede a transition or a goal and I don't like that.
03:45
You're going to put your UEFA squad together, you've probably already sent your squad to
03:49
UEFA now and we're waiting to find out who's in it.
03:52
Can you tell us if you put Parma, Labier and Wesley Pifano in the squad or how you've managed
03:58
that situation?
03:59
No, we'll see.
04:00
Now it depends a little bit also the injury we have from last game so we're going to decide
04:05
in the next hours.
04:06
OK, cameras off please.
