Thomas Tuchel will use Academy players as his Covid-hit squad prepare to face Brentford in the Carabao Cup quarter final.
TIMESTAMPS
0:00 Introduction
0:05 Covid and injury update? Ill players still out, Jorginho had a negative test so he's back but Christensen and Chalobah very doubtful with injury
1:30 Surprised football is carrying on? I thought this was coming – it is very difficult to postpone games
2:30 We did not feel safe travelling to Wolves with only 14 players. It will not get easier but I don't have a solution
3:30 I used to watch English Christmas schedule now I am in the middle of it I am quite enjoying it
5:00 Academy and u-23 boys have trained with us for two sessions and they will be involved tomorrow
5:45 What we did with N'Golo Kante, playing 90 mins at Wolves, was very close to irresponsible. He will not be in the squad tomorrow, so he can rest to face Aston Villa
8:00 Tomorrow we will prioritise health of the players, not the game, and not take any risks
10:20 We don't have the biggest squad so when we miss 9 players we have a problem – it's as easy as that.
11:45 we will fight against all odds tomorrow
12:15 It's a lottery coming in to training – we do flow test and PCR tests every day just to get in the building. At least it is safe, but always the risk of finding another positive. We had plans for Lewis Baker from the academy but he tested positive. It's exciting to plan training because you never know how many players will arrive!
