Hello again, Ruben. In terms of the team, we saw the training footage the other day of certain
00:05
players returning. Who will be available for the match tomorrow?
00:10
Luque is not ready yet. We are starting doing some drills with the team,
00:16
but we are building Luque. Mesut Malt is feeling better, but he was already on the bench in the
00:23
last game. I think Kobe is almost returning also, but he is not ready for this game.
00:31
Jonny Evans is recovering. Aiden is recovering. Who else? Lice is out. You know that. I think
00:42
that's it. Is Maguire also ready to go to the game?
00:48
Joran. With Aiden, there was a lot of concern when he went down. How severe does that look?
00:55
No, it was not so serious. He is recovering. He is not ready to play,
01:02
but he is going to return this season for sure.
01:06
You went into the break probably on the best little run that you'd had. Does that mean that
01:13
you can pick up where you left off with players coming back? Are you confident about this
01:20
kind of period of the season, more confident than you've been?
01:25
Yes, you can say that. I'm really confident. I feel that the players are more confident.
01:31
The energy is different, but I also know that this could change with the results. We are focused on
01:38
maintaining the energy. We worked on some things that we have a lot to improve. Even
01:43
winning the games, we can acknowledge that we have a lot to improve, but we are in a
01:48
different moment, more confident and ready for this final two months of the season.
01:54
What targets do you set? Obviously, you want to win the Europa League. I don't know what you're
02:01
looking at the league. You might have a trip after the league season is finished, but what
02:06
targets are you setting? I don't know which place we are going to finish, but we are looking up and
02:14
we want to win games. We still have matches to finish in a different position. Like you said
02:23
before, we are more confident, so we are looking up and we want to win games. That is our focus
02:32
at the moment. Ruben, how key could it be getting those players back as well?
02:36
Just looking at schedules, obviously Forest tomorrow, then it's City on Sunday,
02:40
Lyon the first leg, Newcastle away and then the second leg against Lyon. It's a really busy
02:44
schedule for you once again with so much still to be achieved. I think it's also really exciting
02:50
because really tough matches. In the last weeks, we had that kind of schedule with less players,
03:01
so it's really important to have all the players available for them to fight, for us to rotate
03:08
during matches. Different characteristics give us different opportunities to win football matches,
03:16
but I think it's a very good moment in our season. I know that we will have at least three
03:22
games in the Premier League now that are really tough, but I think the team is prepared to face
03:28
those games and also the Europa League is a key point for us in this final run.
03:35
I also appreciate he's not with you, but Marcus Rashford obviously said that he's getting fitter.
03:40
He feels he's playing better now as well. What are you seeing from him and are you impressed by what
03:47
you're seeing? Also, if he's to continue that improvement, what impact could that have on
03:51
your thinking when it comes to what happens with him? Like you said, we have a lot of games to
03:58
play and I'm focused on my team and my players. Rashford is not my player at the moment,
04:04
but every player that performs well on loan is good news for our club, so we are happy with that.
04:12
Nuno's doing a very good job at Forest. Is he somebody you know that you've come across? What
04:17
do you think of what he's doing there? First of all, I'm not surprised because I know the
04:24
work that he did in Portugal, in Spain. I know that he did really well here with Wolves.
04:32
He went to Tottenham, he started really well and then things happened, but I'm not surprised.
04:38
I know that he's a top manager and you feel it in the team, the environment that they have.
04:44
When you see their team, his team play, you can see the energy. They are so happy,
04:52
they have mobility. So, like I said in the beginning, I'm not surprised he's a top manager.
04:58
They played 120 minutes on Saturday evening and you haven't played for 14, 15 days.
05:05
Will that be a factor? I don't know. Of course, Nuno will say that it was better to have more
05:13
time to prepare the game and I can say that there's a long time in the good moments without
05:20
games. But they played that cup stage, they won and that is really important to recover players.
05:28
So, the environment will be really nice. They are doing amazing and we want to continue to win games.
