Joao Pedro Junqueira de Jesus Injuries

'Joao felt his thigh a few days ago. He was touch and go for this one, so hopefully we'll have him back for Brighton on Tuesday.' 'Joao will be a late call. He was out on the pitch today, and we will make a decision on him tomorrow morning. That's a real positive for us because he will be back sooner rather than later.' 'Joao Pedro will be good for Sunday. But this game is too close for him.' 'With Joao and Cole, they both trained today and are in a good place. We don't know yet [whether they can feature], but we have another day to have a look at them and then make a call after that session. But we hope so [they can be involved].'

'This afternoon, we are going to assess Caicedo, Joao Pedro and Andrey Santos. Unfortunately for us, they all have small problems. We are going to see if they are available for tomorrow.'

'Joao had private reasons why he wasn't available today, so let's see how this continues.' 'We had a small issue in training - a type which isn't uncommon from time to time in all football clubs. We dealt with it internally, and the matter is closed. Joao won't be in the squad.'

'I would love to have him on the pitch in the FA Cup, but he has twisted his ankle in training, and we have to wait for an MRI. If we have any clear results about that, then we can let you know...' 'He's training with the team and then we can decide if we'll take the risk to play him... What's most important is how the player feels. We won't do any stupid things; we have to wait until after the training session. We can't forget that he's still a very young player.'

'The tackle on Joao looked like it wasn't a great tackle. Joao took a nasty hit. Hopefully, he's OK.' 'Of course, Joao had some problems after the game. He still has some problems. We have to go week by week, but I don't think he will be an option for the weekend. I am not sure how long he will be out. I think Joao is a good healer, and I am convinced he will be back soon.' 'We have to be a little bit more patient, but I think there will be a comeback soon. I can't say the exact date of the comeback.' 'We have to see - he is coming back after a long injury - if he will be an option. But he is back in training.' 'Also, Joao Pedro will be back in training. Some players will be back on the pitch. We have to see now how Joao's coming back after a long injury to see if he will be an option, but he's back in training.' 'Matt O'Reilly and Joao Pedro have a 'big chance' of being in the squad.'

'He came back with a small issue. I think he should recover after this.' 'He had a small issue; we shouldn't take any risks. He might have played, but we would have risked an injury for two or three or four weeks. Of course, we can say Joao was missing, but we had enough chances without him.' 'He made a training session today, and we shouldn't, or we don't want to [take] any risk for today. Let's see how the next days will be.'

'Joao has an ankle problem. It's sad news for us. Today, it happened, and I don't know if he can play tomorrow.'

'He has a problem. We don't know how many weeks, but we don't want to take a risk, and sure, he can't play tomorrow.' 'Joao played in an U21s friendly on Saturday and did well. He can play tomorrow, but it's not clear for how many minutes.'

'It is too early to speak, but we hope it is not a bad injury because we need him.' 'Tomorrow we decide.'

'Joao, we have to analyse tomorrow morning if he is available to play or to play one part of the game or not.'
