Oleksandr Zinchenko Injuries

'We will wait to see how Zinchenko is after coming off. That one is going to be touch and go, I think.' 'Zinchenko is a no at the moment, unfortunately. A bit longer than we thought.' 'Zinchenko is with the sports science team and the physios, but not with us.' '(Dilane) Bakwa and (Oleksandr) Zinchenko are both back training, Bakwa will be slightly longer.' 'Oleksandr is on the grass and doing fine, so that's good, he is on his way back.' '[They] are in the squad, and we will make a decision on it. I think it will be more so with Zinchenko and Douglas (Luiz) because of their depth of knowledge of their bodies and depth of knowledge of playing, because of their experience. Bakwa is still coming back from his injured period.'

'He's not too bad - he pulled up a bit sore with his groin. He did well to finish the game to be honest - he felt it pretty early on. He's played more football in the last three weeks than he has in quite a while. It's nothing significant - it'll put him out tomorrow night and probably the weekend.' 'We've got some good work into them, particularly guys like Douglas, Zinchenko, Murillo. They've had two good weeks and are all available for tomorrow. They obviously haven't played, but they are all available, which is good.'

'Zinchenko could probably be available as well.'

'I think he will still be out for a few weeks, unfortunately.' 'Alex, probably after the international break if everything goes well. He is progressing well.' 'Today we’ll have to push. We are struggling a bit with the numbers, especially on our right side.'

'With Alex, we don't know because he had some feeling in his calf again, and we had to take him off.' 'Not far [away] at all...' '[Zinchenko and Tomiyasu] are possible, but we have to wait and see, especially with the last two sessions that we have on Saturday and Sunday. If that’s the case, they might be available on Monday.'

'We don't know [how serious it is]. He felt something in his calf, so he could not be available. We'll scan him tomorrow and see how far he'll go in these games.' 'He is progressing well. We have another training session tomorrow, and we will evaluate whether he is available or not to play and start the game.'

'With Alex, it's a calf issue. He won't be available to play in the next few games.' 'With Alex, he had a muscular injury again, unfortunately. I think he'll be back soon, but it's a shame that he hasn't been with us the whole tour.' 'He is doing very well, he has been training with us, and hopefully, he'll be available very soon.'

'He had a muscular issue at the end of the match at Anfield last week, and he struggled in the last few minutes. We assessed him, and he wasn't fit enough to play.' 'We will see that one as well, not certain. It's a muscle injury, and he needs some time to heal. We're not there yet.'

'He's had another muscle injury. Let's see how it evolves in the next few days.' 'I think [he is a doubt, along with Gabriel Jesus]. I don't know; he has not been on the pitch yet. So, we have to be a little bit calm.' 'He has a current injury in his calf, and that's why he's been out for this period. We will see tomorrow what we decide.' 'I think he's close. He's getting better and better, and he's progressing really well. He had a setback on an injury that he got at the start of the season, which is a shame, but knowing Alex, he will be back very soon.' 'Alex is just very recent, and he’s had two training sessions.'

'We have to wait until tomorrow to make that decision. What we have decided to do for the international break doesn't mean that we are going to say the same for the weekend, so it's something we will address tomorrow.'

"Unfortunately, with Alex, that's still not the case; he missed two games and has not been able to train with the team yet.'

"Zinchenko and Gundogan both trained and we are delighted they are back."

"He was recovered and then two days ago, in the training session, he got injured again. Unfortunately, has to be two or three weeks out."

"He’s ready but in his physical condition I don't know how many minutes he can play."

"Yeah, it was just a cramp. Everything is okay."

"We will see today [Friday] and tomorrow. [He is] feeling better but I don’t know [he] will be fit for Sunday."
