Pape Matar Sarr Injuries

'Pape felt a pain in his shoulder and didn't train with the group this week. He's not available.'

'So the good news is we have Pape back from AFCoN, winning with Senegal. He was not in the squad at the weekend because he had some illness. So, he's not super where he should be, but he's available.'

'We left him in London. He took a knock. So we felt it would be difficult for him to recover in just two days. Since we were in his home city, we preferred to leave him at the disposal of his club so he could receive treatment there.' 'Pape trained today, he's ready, available.'

'Pape [was] just a minor precaution. How can you say, a little stretch to the thigh, so we didn’t want to take any risks today. There is a good chance that he could be ready for Saturday.'

'He's fine...'

'Pape was the same. He shouldn’t have started today, but we lost Madders really late, so we had to make a change.'

'He tried to train, but he was still a bit sore from the weekend. We're hoping it won't be anything that keeps him out for too long. A chance for him at the weekend, but the turnaround was too quick.' 'Pape is still a doubt.'

'The latest I heard is that he should be back at some stage tomorrow. I'm disappointed for him, but he did well for them. It's good to get him back, and he should be fine for Saturday.' 'We'll see how he goes. He's had a long trip back, obviously, but we'll see in training and make a decision there about him.'

'Pape felt his hamstring. He's obviously very disappointed because he's going away with his national team, and he doesn't want to miss out on that. We're hoping it's nothing too serious.'

'We'll have to look at Pape Sarr because he's got a bit of an issue as well. We'll see how he is over the next 24-48 hours.' 'Pape is probably a little bit behind him (Richarlison), so we'll just see how he goes. Out of all the guys, I guess they're the two we're hoping will be back over the next couple of weeks.' 'Probably tomorrow will be a little bit too quick for him, but he should be available for Sunday.'

'He has been under the weather and was lacking energy. We knew we could get 60-65 out of him, and that was all we could ask. He should be fine [for Friday].' 'Pape is fine. He got a 24-hour illness; he's bounced back and trained well.'
