Maybe we get to see him for a few minutes.

Canarte should be fine.

Florian Wirtz has been on antibiotics.

He may well train this week, but he wasn't too sure.

So it feels touch and go.

I think ultimately here, Liverpool are going to be taken to the pitch on Friday with a number of big hitters missing.

But listen, the challenge is...

to get results, even if you are missing some of these big players?

How did you think the manager's mood was, Greg?

Because he seemed pretty upbeat.

He was asked about the mood, not only of himself, but the camp as well, the players, how they're feeling and stuff.

It was another disappointing result against Chelsea that you've got to say that.

I think, well...

What got me, not necessarily the most, but it's the fact that they've had a week between games recently.

And the manager was at pains to say at different parts of the season, really, that it was difficult because you're playing every two or three days.

Maybe you're playing twice a week, three times a week, whatever it's been.

But...

If you give me more time on the trailing pitch, then invariably you'll see results maybe improve, and that quite hasn't been the case, has it really?

Sure, and I was quite pleased with Mo's question at the end.

So we'll back and forth this a little bit in terms of the press conference, but he pushed the manager a little bit on the story around maybe Liverpool falling in on themselves against Chelsea, which the manager wanted to bat away post-game.
