Kobbie Mainoo Injuries

'Over the last day or so, Kobbie just had an issue in training... It seems small, but big enough to keep him out tonight. It wasn't worth the risk, to be honest, so we're hoping it's pretty small, and it won't be too long.' 'Kobbie, [is doing] little bits, yeah, we're working towards it. He's done little bits, so there's a decision to be made there.'

'He got an injury in the last training [session]. After training, he went to the doctor, and he got something in his calf. We are going to assess, but he is out of this game.' 'Not for this game. They are recovering. I don't think that it is going to take a lot of time. Kobbie is going to return faster than Bruno.' 'Kobbie is not going to be ready. He is going to start on the pitch, so we will see [for GW20].' 'We’re going to see tomorrow, we have one more training. I don’t think anyone is going to recover, but we'll see.'

'Kobbie didn't train today, but I think tomorrow we could see Kobbie, so we will see.'

'I think Kobbie is out... Let's see, I think weeks.' 'Kobbie is recovering...' 'Kobbie will maybe return in a few weeks. I don't know for sure.' 'I think Kobbie is almost returning also but not ready for this game.' 'I think Kobbie is returning to training, so we'll see and assess for this game. Of course, he cannot play a full game. He's a long time without training.' 'Kobbie is training with us. We want to be careful, again, with our players, but maybe he’s going to be in our squad.'

'Kobbie (Mainoo) and Harry (Maguire) are out for a couple of weeks.' 'Kobbie is also progressing in his injury, he’s making the right steps, but is not yet with the team, though. That needs a bit more time.'

'Of course, when a player is coming off before half-time already, then there are some concerns.' 'Mainoo didn’t make it [on Thursday]. It was too big a risk. We have to wait and see if he can play on Sunday. If he is fit enough to start or be on the bench.'

'So, hopefully, it's not too bad. First, we have to wait for the diagnosis.' '[Kobbie] is expected to be ruled out for the first part of 23/24. He has flown home from [the] Tour, where further assessment of his injury will take place before a medical decision on the next steps.' 'At this moment, he's not available, but I think he will also, not in one month, but in two months, he will be available. And so, for the winter [that] is coming up, he absolutely will have his games.' 'He is close. He is already training with us. Not today, but I think next week, he will have some minutes in the team. So, then he can catch up his game minutes. So, he is really improving and ready to get back in the squad for games.'
