00:00Ian, please.
00:01Hi, Ange.
00:02How are you?
00:03I'm good.
00:04So, Romero and Van de Ven possibly back imminently.
00:05Can you be more specific?
00:06No, mate.
00:07Because I'm not a doctor, and also, as I keep saying, there's a barrier that you can't cross
00:24when you're talking about people and, you know, whether that's injuries or medically.
00:30As I said, unless you want to call me a liar, what I'm saying is that both of them are training.
00:38There's evidence of that if you want that.
00:40Both of them are in a good place in terms of their recovery.
00:44Different reasons we've held both back.
00:47And once they're right, they'll be in.
00:48I most certainly was not calling you a liar.
00:50I'm just thinking because you've now got seemingly from the outside all or nothing on the Europa
00:56League this season.
00:57Are you saving them for that competition?
00:59No, and we're not all or nothing on anything.
01:01We still want to progress in the league.
01:03You know, we're not happy with the position we're in.
01:06There's still significant games.
01:07It's not like there's only a few games to go.
01:09There's still a lot of football to be played in the league, and we want to address our
01:13league position and finish the season strong.
01:16And alongside that, like you said, you're perfectly right that, you know, obviously
01:19the Europa League now is a great focus for us with us being out of the other cups, but
01:24we're not saving anyone for anything because ultimately what I want is, you know, both
01:29Miki and Romero have had disrupted seasons in that, you know, they've got injured, come
01:34back, got injured again.
01:35I don't want the same scenario.
01:37You know, whilst it may look with Miki like we had a false start with the Elswog thing,
01:43I just thought it gave us an indication of where he's at.
01:45And we could have pushed on, absolutely, we could have pushed on Romero, but my view is
01:49let's get him back and get him back right till the end of the season so that we give
01:54them a chance as well to kind of make a contribution to hopefully a strong finish for us.
