Press Conference ahead of tomorrow's match 🗣

💬 PEP: "Jack is coming back, training well and could be ready. Kova is almost [ready], the last part of the recovery but now we lost Bernardo for a few days and John, KDB, they are still out."

💬 PEP: (On Bernardo's injury) "Little injury, not much. I don't know, a week, two weeks."

💬 PEP: (On Rodrigo) "He’s an exceptional holding midfielder, exceptional. He’s complete."

💬 PEP: (on Julian Alvarez) "Always has good behaviour, playing or not playing, being a world champion or not. Always the same. The perfect dose of disappointment when he doesn't play, but always ready for the opportunity..."

💬 PEP: "Right now with the injuries, he's had minutes and he gives us a lot of good things. That's why he's playing, but he has to continue. Many games, some games he won't play, hopefully players come back and fight for positions..."

💬 PEP: "All the squads were so easy to handle. Success belongs to the players of the past because we learn off them, build off them. I'm not going to say this team is better. Every team, the club, players, staff, everyone has been really good..."

💬 PEP: "When we arrive seven years ago, we make the points [at the start of the season], but we finished third. It's just the beginning. It's important to get points, but it's just the beginning..."

💬 PEP: "We play a lot. Less games, less injuries. A lot of games in a row over the years, no rest... We can't sustain it. Jack [Grealish] got a knock on his knee in Sheffield; that's football, it can happen. Muscular injuries mean you miss a lot..."

💬 PEP: "I said many times when young players are in the squad it is because we trust them, we rely on them. We need the injured players back because we can't play everyone in every game..."
