00:00I think close to a fully fit squad as well. Any progress on Dominic Calvert-Lewin?

00:04Yeah, Dom's out in the grass and he's training well.

00:11I think because it's been a hamstring injury, it's not the sort of thing that we can say,

00:15hey, we can speed it up greatly and bring him back.

00:17I think we're trying to follow all the protocols with it and try not to bring him back too quickly.

00:22But we're sort of roughly thinking, I think we've got another three weeks on Dom

00:26before we're even probably talking about probably him getting back into it.

00:30I don't know about full-time training or actually games yet, I'm not sure,

00:34but we certainly think we'll get another three weeks before we can start mentioning him.

00:39Dwight McNeill, good seeing him back on the pitch last week,

00:41but you were missing a few with Jasper Lindstrom and Mikhilenko.

00:45Yeah, well, unfortunately Jesper's had a hernia operation yesterday,

00:50so that'll rule Jesper out probably for most of the season now.

00:55So that's disappointing for him and for us because he'd started to show some decent form

01:01in the last month or so as well and he was an important player for us.

01:05So Jesper out, we've got Mikko back in the grass training,

01:10you know, Dwight's back, still trying to get them up to speed,

01:13but certainly in and around things.
