00:00First of all, can we check on Michelangelo? How serious is the injury he picked up?

00:04Well, he's got a bit of an injury, but he's back. He came in and he did a bit of training yesterday,

00:08so we're hopeful that he'll be OK. But we still have to wait and see tomorrow exactly how he is.

00:14What about getting anyone back? Obviously, McNeil and I, they've been training. How far along are they?

00:20They're doing great, actually. Both of them are coming on great.

00:25Ellie's a little bit further on than Dwight at the moment, but it's great that they're back in training.

00:31In the main, it's helped us a little bit with having Dom out as well,

00:37but Dom's the only one who's really behind it a little bit at the moment. Dom, we're just waiting on him coming back.

00:42The rest are all getting much closer to fitness. When you say behind it, he's not...

00:46I don't mean behind, I just mean behind those ones and coming back just now.

00:49The likes of Ellie and Dwight are certainly getting closer.

00:55Have you got any dates in mind as to when he could be back?

00:57No, I've not got a date with Dom yet, but he's back. He's on the grass, so it's a good sign that he's getting closer to it.
