Vitalii Mykolenko Injuries

'Absent from today's matchday squad - picked up a knock in training.' 'He's back training, so he's back and in the squad. He's fit and available.'

'Vitalii is around it. We need to see if he's going to make it or not. Hopefully, he might be OK. He felt something in the game vs Wolves. He felt he was fine to go with Ukraine and go with them. But once he got there, he felt it maybe wasn't quite right, so came away.' 'They're making progress, and we'll see. We've got a couple of other knocks within the camp, but we'll see how they are.'

'We'll wait to see what the report says, we've not had a chance [to look] yet.' 'We may have [him available].' 'Jarrad is on the way but not fit, neither is Mykolenko - and Nathan Patterson is not fit, either.' 'I hope [he is ready to go]. It was good to get Mykolenko back, as we have been short in that area.'

'We have got Myko back on the grass and training.'

'Unfortunately, he has an injury. He will do an MRI; we'll see. I know Vitaliy. If he didn't continue playing, then the injury was really serious.' 'He's got a bit of an injury, but he's back and done a little bit of training yesterday. So, we're hopeful he'll be OK, but we have to wait until tomorrow to see how he is.'

'He started some training today, so hopefully, he'll be available. That's probably the main one.'

'It was unfortunate. Myko took a knock last weekend. We thought it was a knock; it settled down and then turns out to be a small strain, and it's too much for today.' 'Mykolenko is looking good, so that's a step in the right direction.'

't's just a general illness. I won't know until the illness shows itself, but he felt ill, so he felt he had to come off.' 'Certainly, we hope to get the three illnesses back. From what we know, it's a passing bug.' 'Myko is through the illness. He was here today... we're hopeful that's him done.' 'Myko is well again.'

'Myko is more precautionary.'

'Mykolenko has had an MRI scan already and will have another scan tomorrow. We will see what happens, but I feel a lot calmer now from the initial incident.'

'Vitalii is unlikely. We'll see how that settles; he'll need a scan on that to know the truth on it. But it's not great on the early signs.' 'Vitalii suffered an ankle ligament injury during the Merseyside derby. He has been assessed by a specialist, who revealed the Ukraine international will not require surgery.'

'Myko was ill, it was not an injury. He's likely to be through that over the weekend.'

'Mykolenko took a knock, but we're hopeful he will be alright.'

'Mykolenko had a bit of a niggle, but I think he'll be OK.' 'We are waiting [to learn the extent] of that.' 'Mykolenko is back in the thinking.'

'Myko came off, and we have to be careful with him.'

'I doubt he'll be right for this one; he's got a chance for the next one. It's a risk-reward scenario, and he hasn't trained, so therefore, I doubt he'll make this one.' 'He’s a bit better, so we will see how he reacts tomorrow to training today.'

'Myko, we're making a decision on his strength - just coming out of illness but trained today.'

"With Myko, we hope it was just cramp. It would be a result if that is the case."

"It's a dead leg, high-up, so hopefully not too bad."

"He has every bit of support we can possibly give him from our end. The decision on whether he is available to play will be for myself and him to speak about."
