Morgan Gibbs-White Injuries

'Concussion is not the problem. It's a deep cut. He's a fighter. He wants to play for sure. Now he has pain. We'll see what happens. I really believe we can have him next game, we'll see.' 'We will see tomorrow if he's able to play or not. It is not a question for me - it's a decision between the player and the medical department. We will have a last meeting to decide. We have a plan with him and without him.' 'It was not my decision; I cannot decide [these things]. This was a medical decision from the specialist. He was not in condition to play.' 'He started to work with the team today, with the mask. Let's see. It is strange when you use the mask. But I spoke with him, and he said he was OK, no problem. We will see if he is ready and in condition for the next game.'

'Yeah, I think he is alright. There are a few knocks - we are playing a lot of games at the minute, and a few of the guys are playing a lot of football. I don't think it is anything serious; it hasn't been reported as serious. Recovery day today.'

'It is too early yet, but I think he will be alright. Morgan had a stiff back, and he was unsure in the build-up to the [Malmo] game. We rested him. To be fair to him, he has hardly trained this week, but he felt he was right to go and play.' 'Gibbs-White came off with a knock, but we’re expecting him to be ready for selection tomorrow.'

'We're hopeful it will settle down pretty quickly, but we are waiting on further news. So far, it is nothing too serious, but he will miss this one.' 'Hopefully, it is settling down. It is like a bad back, a bit of a waking-up sort of injury - one of those ones where you sleep funny or twist funny. At this stage, we are not expecting it to be too serious... We’re hopeful he will be right for the weekend.'

'We are going to assess him. He had a big contact. His leg was not OK, and he was struggling... So, we decided to turn to Morato to see if we could hold on for penalties.'

'He’s not in the right moment. We’ve been taking care of him since the knock in the Chelsea game. He has been trying hard, but he’s not in the position to do it today.' 'We still have tomorrow. We have to assess the players and see how they are. Let’s see how they are tomorrow to see if they can help the team. They are improving.'

'He's still injured. Hopefully, for the next game, he's going to be available. He went out with a lot of pain [at Chelsea] and is still recovering. He's getting much better, but it's still going to take some time. It's always a day-by-day assessment with the medical dept and the player.' 'It is a day-by-day process, so let's see how he is. He is better today, so let's hope he is even better tomorrow and keeps progressing.' 'It was a tough one for Morgan; a painful one. He is better now. He is going to plan. Without him, we are less strong because he is so important and special and brings us something different.'

'We have to assess him: him and some players. We need all the players, and we need the best of them, and Morgan is so important for us.'

'Morgan was struggling. He had some pain and discomfort. We still have to assess him.'

'He already did his scan. Unfortunately, he has an injury. He is recovering [and] is getting better, but for now, he is not available. One more week, hopefully.'

'He's got an ankle injury. I don't know the extent of it - whether it's a kick or something else. We'll see in the next couple of days.' 'Morgan is injured. Everyone saw him limp off; he'll be out for a little while, with the nature of what happened.' 'He's certainly nowhere near playing at the moment. Some guys can recover quicker than others. All we know is he won't be playing against United, and he won't be available in the short term.'

'We are hopeful for United. It's been a mixture of kicks and loading. There's a bit of management going on as well, but there's nothing that we are too concerned about.' 'Similar for Morgan and Serge (Aurier). We are hopeful they will be available. It is still a little bit inconclusive, but we will see in a few days' time.' 'Morgan is still a little bit inconclusive in terms of when we think he'll be back. We'll cross bridges as they come. [Out] for a little while.' 'We're working him hard, and we're trying to push him without risk of further damage because that wouldn't be good at all.'

'Morgan obviously missed out [for] the England U21s. But we are integrating him back into training. We are not completely conclusive on that yet, but we are hoping so.'

'Morgan picked up a kick vs Everton, so, unfortunately, he was unavailable for Grimsby. We'll see where he's at for the weekend. We want to give him every opportunity.'

"Re-joined us today after he was in quarantine due to the contraction of the virus. He tested positive two weeks ago, but he had his own individual sessions."

"Morgan’s getting better, but he’s not good. Hopefully he’s not going to be out for long and he will be able to join the group."

"Closer, it's a day-by-day process. First, we have to take care of his pain but he is improving and hopefully he can join us soon."

"He is dealing with lower back pain. He has trained today outside with [the rehab coach]. He's not totally pain-free, but let's see how he is. He's dealing with that pain."

"Morgan has withdrawn from international duty due to a back issue and, although the problem isn’t serious, he’ll be monitored over the next week."
