Lewis Dunk Injuries

'Lewis will be back in the squad. Joel (Veltman) will be back in the squad. They are all very positive news...'

'Lewis is doubtful. We have to see if he can train today, but I am not sure if he will be available for the game.' 'It's an issue where I can't say whether it will take 2-3 weeks. Everyone who knows Lewis knows he's trying really hard to get back to training as quickly as possible, but at the moment, he's in a lot of pain day by day in an area near the ribs.' 'He is getting closer, but still, not an option. Hopefully, he can use the international break and be back for the game against Nottingham (Forest).' 'So, when we talk about the advantages and disadvantages of an Int' break... it's an advantage because he can use it as a recovery time. I think we can use it for several players - Dunk, O'Riley - that we have them available after [the] break.' 'Lewis will be back, Matt O'Riley will be back, hopefully, they both will be options for the game. Let's wait until the session today.'

'He has a small muscle problem. It's nothing big or structural, but we also have to wait.'

'A slight calf issue. Not a major issue.' 'Lewis will be back, and he's training today.'

'I think he will have a scan, and we will see. He has a small issue in his muscle.' 'He has a small muscle issue, not that big. He's a great healer. We have to go day by day and for sure we can't take any risks with him. But he's keen on coming back as soon as possible.' 'We have to see how Lewis is today.' 'Lewis was training, but also, we'll have to see how the next two days are going, but he's close.' 'Lewis will be an option; he will be back in the squad.'

'I hope for him it is not a big problem. I don't know if he can be available for Sunday. But more important for him is the possibility to be available for Europe. It's a knee problem. It's not a clear situation yet. He will have a scan tomorrow.' 'He is not available. He cannot play. I think it's not such a big problem and that is good news for him, for us.'

'The injuries are a terrible situation, but we can't change anything. We have to focus on the game on Sunday; it's one of the most important this season. I don't think Dunk, Pervis or Milner will be available.'

'Lewis couldn’t play because, after the game with Manchester United, he felt a muscular problem.'

'He is playing with some problems in his calf and in his back.' '[He] was injured in the last part of the season, and I don't want to take a risk. We would like to have Dunk, Milner and March ready to play the first PL game.'

"If Dunk comes through tomorrow's session, he could be in the squad."

"Hopefully Dunk will train [on Friday]."
