Tomas Soucek Injuries

'I don't think there was intent from Tomas, and there wasn't a lot of speed in it, but when you go with your studs raised, you've got a problem.'

'He is not available from last week. We're covering the protocols from the Premier League regarding his concussion last week.'

'They've been in today [for] the first time [and] we've had the chance to assess them - they've done a little bit of training, so I'm hoping that they'll all be available for the weekend.'

'Tomas trained well yesterday, but I think he woke up with a stiff back, so he slept awkwardly, so he was with the medical team. Precautionary.'

'Tomas picked up a foot injury from the game against Chelsea, so [he] could be a question mark for me.'

"We've got a concern about Soucek because of his stitches in his head, so that’s something we’re concerned about."

"Tomas has come back from COVID. We're not quite sure yet if he's ready, so we need to assess that and see where he is."

"He's had stitches in his lip, in his cheek and above his nose as well. I think he's fine. There's a decision whether we rest him, but I don't think his injury is any reason not to play him."

"Tomas is back and all fine."

"Tomas is doing very well and he's just about match-fit, very close to it now, so he's recovered very quickly."
