Injury and availability news: Federico Chiesa, Harvey Elliott and Alexis Mac Allister updates

Church

Federico has trained with the team three or four times now, so let’s see how he does today and what decision I make, because we have more than 20 players, whether I choose a position or whether I choose the players who are most fit at that moment.

Elliot

Harvey is of course a big disappointment for him, but not only for him, also for us. Okay, he didn’t play that much in the first three games, but in the preparation he played a lot and showed himself very well. If he had stayed fit, he would of course have had a lot of playing time in the next games.

But now he’s not (fit) and that gives another chance to someone else. So it’s a blow to him first and then also to us, because I think availability is important at the stage of the season where we’re playing seven games in 22 days, I think. So it’s a blow to both of us, but he’ll work as hard as ever to come back as good as he can.

Unfortunately, he did not stay fit and was out of action for a long time.

Mac Allister

He wasn’t in the last game (Mac Allister came on as a substitute for Argentina on Tuesday night), but he trained with us yesterday. I expect Macca to be there tomorrow.
