James Milner Injuries

'James is not available. He can't play, he needs, I don’t know how much time. For the next two, three, four games, he can't play.' 'Billy is better. I don’t know how much time before he can start with us on the pitch, but he’s better. James Milner is the same. I think (Adam) Webster, Milner and Billy can be available in the next few weeks.'

'It is difficult for James; he didn’t work with the group until yesterday. I don’t know if it’s the best solution to take a risk with him, especially in this moment because we are suffering with injuries.'

'Millie was not in training for one day, but he's fine - there was no injury reason.'

'Millie felt something in the hamstring. We still hope it is not an injury, but we will see. He felt something, but after 30 years in the business, he said, 'I don't think it's a lot', so we will see.' 'Millie didn’t get better since then... he will be out for a couple of games. Same for Bobby (Firmino).'

'He seemed to be fine now, but we have to probably do further checks.' 'When you go through a concussion protocol, you are not available for the next game because you have to go through different stages.' 'Millie is back in training today.'

"Probably next week we expect [him] back in team training, let’s see what that means for the Porto game - but not for the weekend."

"James was a similar thing to Trent, so he should be recovered. I saw him running around here, nobody told me differently."

"Millie was not part of team training so far, so we will see what he can do today. But he will get closer definitely."

"Millie will train today but is that then enough for being involved tomorrow? I will see."

"Not yet with the team. That can happen tomorrow, if I’m 100 per cent right, he has his first session with the team."

"Millie, yesterday full session, today then a little bit adapted. We have still two more days until we have to make decisions."

"Millie is in contention, or is pretty safe for the Chelsea game; nobody told me yet he will be available for tomorrow - and he didn’t train yesterday."

"Millie feels OK but it’s a little thing and we don’t want to take any risk because it makes absolutely no sense."

"Felt his hamstring, but it is not too serious. He came back from lockdown and could play the next day, so it has nothing to do with that."

"I don’t know exactly. I cannot rush it so when somebody tells me they are ready, I take them back in training."

"It was a minor muscle injury. I would say he can probably train tomorrow, although I am not 100 per cent sure. For today it did not work out, but I think by at least Tuesday he can train."

"He was already outside yesterday. He had a little muscle issue, but there are still two days to go until the game. I think if you ask Millie he would say, 'I will be ready' but we have to see."

"He will not be available for tomorrow, that's not possible, but hopefully the game after that he will be available again."

"It was the right thing not to risk me at the weekend, so hopefully I’ll be fine for the next game."

"Millie looks fine and should be OK."

"It's a little injury. It's serious enough to put him out for today. He couldn’t train the whole week."
