Manuel Akanji Injuries

'I don't know yet. But if they have gone out for muscular reasons, maybe they will not be there [for the next two games].' 'Surgery on Saturday. 8-10 weeks.' 'Manuel has been in two or three training sessions, and I see him moving really well. We will see today [if he can play].'

'Manu maybe in Turin [against Juventus].' 'Manu, we will see.' 'I don't know. Nathan will be longer than Manu, but I don't know [how long].' 'It is discomfort in the area of the pelvis. It doesn’t feel good. He made an incredible effort playing against Bournemouth. He wasn’t even at half of his best, but at the end, he had to step back.' 'Manuel and John (Stones) are back in training. That is good for us. I don't know yet [if they will start on Saturday]. Yesterday was their first training session.'

'Manu said 'I felt so bad' in the training session yesterday that he couldn't move properly.'

'Yesterday, I didn't know it; in the last action, he felt something miniscule in the muscular part of his body, and today he didn't feel good. 'He said he could take a risk, but we said no.'

'They could not continue, like Manu. They were playing amazing; I'm not a big fan of so many substitutions but Kevin, Erling and Manu asked me to go out because they could not continue.'

'He'll be out a few weeks. It's not a big blow, but until the end of the month. Maybe for the FA Cup vs Spurs or Burnley, he'll be ready. We're lucky to be without a game for ten days after tomorrow. We'll see in Abu Dhabi how they feel.' 'Manu (Akanji) is back, training well he doesn't feel his knee.'

'Manu at half-time had a problem in the back.' 'Manu trained today and will travel. He is available for Sunday.'

'Manu's problem was more for prevention; it wasn't anything serious. He is more or less there.'

'They are not fit - I don't know what happened, maybe after winning the PL many players got injured. No Aymeric (Laporte) No Akanji. No Ruben (Dias). No Grealish. We'll see how they recover.'
