Jonny Evans Injuries

'So, they recover quite well. They push, of course, and we have to respect the feeling of the player, but we push a little bit, as they wanted to be part of the team. That is a very good sign. Of course, they are limited in the minutes for the game, but they can help us win the game.'

'Jonny is recovering...' 'Jonny is returning to training but is not available for this game.'

'Jonny is still not training.' 'Yeah, he's training already.'

'We expect, of course, Bruno (Fernandes) back and, hopefully, also Jonny Evans.'

'We also had to sub Jonny at half-time because he was ill.'

'I can't tell now what it is in prospect of Sunday, but we have to take them both off.' 'Fellow centre-back Jonny Evans will also miss Saturday’s game against Bournemouth with a shorter-term muscle issue.' 'Jonny returned today in the team training and tomorrow, we will see if it is enough before the two days before the game.'

'The centre-back has been nursing a minor issue for the past few matches, and consequently, his game time has been carefully managed. It is in the best interests of both club and country for him to have a period of rest in order to recover fully.' 'Also, yesterday, Jonny, in the last minute of the training, he dropped out. Then we have to adjust to bring a player in who didn't train, didn't play for four or five weeks and he had only one or two training sessions with the team.'

'That is the good news, they (Evans and Rashford) have recovered after the derby. So, they are available.'

'This morning, (Marcus) Rashford was ill, and (Jonny) Evans was ill. So, we have to see how they recover.'

'I'm not sure in this moment. Yeah, he had to come off, so we have to see how bad it is. It's not about 11 players. We have more players, and we have good players, so we have good replacements to solve that.' 'So we don't have, in this moment, the full assessment and all the details, but tomorrow, he is out. I can't say [if he can go away with Northern Ireland] as we don't have the finished assessment.'

'I think the same foot got stamped on three times. It is one of those where he’ll wake up in the morning, and I imagine it’ll be pretty sore, but there’s no sort of real damage or anything as far as I am aware.'
