“It’s possible but we’ll have to wait and see, especially the last two sessions on Saturday and Sunday,” he added.

Moving forward The manager stated that Gabriel Jesus, who was out for the 4-1 victory over Newcastle United on Saturday due to a knee injury sustained earlier in the month, requires further time to recover.
