"Hi Michael, regarding Ben (Sesko), you just mentioned him. It sounds like a recurrence of the hip injury that kept him out for about four months over the summer. How concerned are you about this recurrence? How do you plan to manage and handle it? Will this be a recurring injury? Do you need to consider the possibility of surgery or something similar, or just rest?"

"Yes, the initial injury was actually to his shin. Yes, yes, it was a shin issue at that time. This is not the exact same specific problem; it's in a similar area, but it's not the exact same injury recurring. We're still conducting further evaluation and monitoring to see how long it will take to resolve this issue. We certainly hope he can return as soon as possible, but at the moment, the situation is still not entirely clear."

"So, the current approach is rest. If rest doesn't work, will you consider a longer-term solution or similar treatment?"

"Yes, there are certainly various different solutions to consider. I think we're providing... actually, he recovered very well from the initial injury, and that also took quite a long time. Sometimes unexpected situations arise in the human body, and we have to react to them and help him get back on the pitch as soon as possible."

"Hi Michael, regarding Leny Yoro, the earlier news was that he would be on the bench against Brighton. Was his inclusion in the squad that night a collective decision, or was it a squad selection forced upon you?"

"No, I think it was after... well, after the Manchester City match, he actually wasn't with the team for a few days. So things are always changing. For young players, whether they're included in the squad or not, we always have plans and ideas, but at that stage, nothing is completely certain."

"I know some of us journalists have already written about it, but has there been any change in your personal stance? Has anything changed regarding this?"

"No, no, there's been no change whatsoever."

"Michael, during the three-week break from club football, have you spoken with your superiors about the team? Despite recent disappointing results, do you still feel the team is on the right track?"

"Yes, communication and dialogue, of course, are always ongoing. I think it happens at all levels and in all directions; we're constantly working to improve ourselves. So there are some things we're actually doing quite well, but there are also areas where we need to do better, and we're very clear and certain about that internally. I think as a team overall, a squad, the players are clearly very aware of this. So, yes, clearly the management above me is also involved in the dialogue and evaluating our current situation."

"I think in some respects, we're maintaining our composure and calm. We're very clear about what we want to achieve, how we want to achieve it, and what it takes to reach those goals, including everything we've done before to prove we can achieve very good results. But this doesn't mean we're stagnant in our ambition. We still need to maintain the drive and intensity in the way we play in the upcoming matches, our performance on the pitch, what it means, and how to bring out the best in each other. Therefore, we need to continue pushing ourselves to do better."
