“He started today. He started today to work with the team, with the mask. Let’s see. It is strange when you use the mask but, in the end, I spoke with him and he said, “I’m okay with the mask, no problem”. We will see if he is ready or if he’s in condition for the next game.

“Of course, [he’s desperate to get back on the pitch to prove himself ahead of the World Cup]. I think he wants to prove himself every time. He wants to get every chance to prove himself and to prove that he has the quality and the talent to be [in the England squad].” – Vitor Pereira on Morgan Gibbs-White

Dan Ndoye and Ibrahima Sangare, two short-term absentees with unspecified issues, could return, too.

However, Murillo (muscle) and Ola Aina (unspecified) remain out.

“Dan Ndoye started [training]. I think Sangare [will train] tomorrow. That’s all.

“Murillo out, Aina out. In this moment, I think Dan Ndoye, Morgan and Sangare will be in the training tomorrow.

“I really don’t know [whether Murillo and Sangare will feature again this season]. They are improving but I don’t know. I think it is not a time for risks. We’ll see. It is about the medical department.” – Vitor Pereira
