00:00No more training left before kickoff tomorrow night, so an ideal time to ask you your favourite questions at news conferences that you've used.
00:08Let's start with Calafiore.
00:11Yeah, he's out. Still out.
00:14Georginio.
00:15Out.
00:16So with Georginio, the suggestion seemed to be at the start that it wasn't too bad and it's become, seems to be worse than your first thought.
00:24I know there's patient confidentiality, but can you give us any idea what it is that he's gone?
00:31Yeah, it's got to be more complicated than expected. Thankfully, he's fine, he's feeling good, he's recovering well, but yeah, it was a bit more than what certainly we wanted.
00:43Is it like a broken bit or something like that?
00:45No, I think I'll leave it to the doctor if he wants to clarify or Georgie that personally.
00:50So hopefully six games to go this season.
00:54Do you think we've seen Georginio in an Arsenal shirt for the last year?
00:59I think so, yeah. Hopefully, if everything goes well in the next week or so, I think he will gradually reintegrate in the team, yeah.
01:08Okay, great. And with Kai Havertz, the opposite, kind of better than we thought it seems in terms of his recovery.
01:13I know we are sure every week, but that's because of what you suggested he is going to be back.
01:19I think so. I think if everybody, if everything goes the way it's going at the moment and the way it's planned,
01:25I think he will have a chance to play a few games in the season.
01:30Any of us?
01:31No, there I start out.
01:32Yeah.
01:38So I'll have you on a break.
01:38I want to get to the moment we hold engaged.
01:45I'll have you on one second second third.
