00:00What's the latest position with Mateo Rielly, what's his prognosis?
00:12Like we expected, a bad injury. He needs a surgery on his ankle. I can't say how long
00:19we expect him to be out. We have to look how the rehab will go. But of course it's a tough
00:27one for us. But we try to support him the best way we can. We try to get him as fast
00:33as possible on the pitch. Let's hope he will be back soon.
00:37In a small chat with him yesterday, of course it's not the best situation. He's very disappointed.
00:44But he's a good character. He's a very positive guy. He looks immediately in the future and
00:51says that he will be back soon and he'll come back stronger. That's a very positive thing
00:57what I like. This attitude is very important that you also stay mentally strong in tough
01:01moments like this because you can't change it in the end. That's why I think he will
01:08come back stronger.
