TIMESTAMPS
0:05 Andreas Christensen? Not sure if he'll be involved tomorrow. He told me on Sat morning he was not ready to play. He had his reasons they will remain private. Had to respect the conversation.
1:05 Unlikely for weekend too.
1:30 Kai Havertsz will try in training today but still a big question mark. Timo Werner is out with hamstring. Ben Chilwell back in training, a big uplift but not available. Kova swollen ankle
2:20 Desperate to have Ben back. He's a key player, but needs patience and support starting in July
3:00 Not that Andreas did not want to play, he was not able to play – it's a big difference.
3:30 Been whole season in place 1,2 or 3 so not a good time be 4th. Have high expectations for us and the fans. Very Happy to have a top 4 place. In the last 2 home games we will do everything to win for a positive end to the season.
4:15 Spoke to Loftus-Cheek after he was subbed? It was a 15 second conversation - it was to get Barkley on for shoot out. No hard feelings
5:05 Conor Gallagher? We will not play Conor Gallagher in next two matches!
5:45 We are safe in top 4, everybody deserves to play. Toni (Rudiger) deserves to play last 2 games
6:45 Let down by Christensen? I felt he wanted to play and could have done. Did not come out of the blue, but not ideal scenario. Feel different levels of disappointment after matches, esp finals.
8:30 Deserved more from 2 finals, but Liverpool did too.
9:01 Training was good, atmosphere we want. Had two days off to digest defeat, so let's see tomorrow.
9:30 Takeover latest? I'm not aware of latest, still convinced it is in good hands and will go through in good time.
10:10 Loan players will come back for sure, I want them in pre-season and then decide what happens. Linked to our sanctions and what happens to the club.
11:05 Season not yet finished, and I refuse to judge our season on 2 penalty shootouts. Does not make it less impressive what effort the team put in to reach these finals.
12:15 Came back with Club World Cup but no-one could predict a war that had a huge effect on our club in particular.
13:30 Consistently in top 3 of toughest league, against two of the best teams in the world, so no need to lose sleep over it.
14:30 Leicester can hurt you in seconds, dangerous team, can't predict this game
15:30 We have a huge delay in approaching plans, we are rebuilding the squad, it is a huge challenge but we are up for the challenge.
16:15 Where will you be Pre-season? From Day 1 I promise I will be here – if I can promise that ! It's a risk that sanctions will affect us, give us disadvantage against City and Liverpool.
17:40 Hudson-Odoi – in and out of squad with injury. Back in pre-season
18:00 How did you spend your 2 days off after cup final? Sunday I did nothing, Monday the same. Not watched it back yet. I'm disappointed and gutted but not angry.
