THOMAS TUCHEL hopes N'Golo Kante and Thiago Silva have recovered from Covid and could play against Tottenham tomorrow
TIMESTAMPS
0:00 Introduction
0:30 Transfers? We adapt daily to the situation. No news, no updates. No pressure. We're relaxed, happy with the players we have here, injured back ASAP, hopefully no new positives. Long-term injuries but not easy to find right players in January.
1:45 Loan recalls? No news
2:10 Covid as a huge impact every day, before match days especially, hope everyone makes it into the building with a negative test. If we want to release N'Golo and Thiago we have to follow protocols. Can only know for sure 1 hour before training. Demanding but not impossible
3:45 We have same guys available from cup game, and waiting for news on N'Golo and Thiago
4:10 I'd say we have no foot in the final – we play another tough match in a tough stadium against a top coach. No-one knows what is going to happen.
5:10 Played well in 1st leg but that is over, its in the past. Forget the first game.
5:30 Guard against complacency? We trust ourselves, huge respect for competition, our opponents so it is our obligation to be prepared. I trust my players. We must be well prepared and have right attitude. Starts from scratch, anything can happen. Need to be at our best level.
7:30 Kepa? I never experienced Kepa nervous or jealous. We trust him and he is capable. So happy to have him.
9:20 Expect clubs to spend a lot in this transfer window? I don't know. We are very happy with what we have. Not a lot going on at the moment. Maybe more transfers done at the end.
10:45 Billy Gilmour? We're assessing his injury, but no talks yet about whether he will stay or not.
11:30 False positives? We had some too, but cannot comment on other clubs.
12:50 Fans frustrated games called off? Can't postpone because of AFCON. Transparency helps fans understand why decisions are made.
14:15 Thiago and N'Golo? Must follow Covid protocol to bring them back to training. See the reaction and if we pick then, it's a gamble on their fitness
15:30 Christian Pulisic? We moved him around a bit. Good thing if they can play in several positions. Had trouble at wing-back with injuries and he helped us out there. Everybody wants him to be effective. We can improve him in that respect
