Pre
Match Press Conference Highlights |

On Rio's
back injury
It is not a major one but it has reared its head a few times
this season,” “It can happen with athletes and at the
moment we are managing it the best we can, hoping Rio will
be ready for Sunday’s game at Chelsea.
“We are giving it time to settle but the work we are doing
is geared towards making his back more supple so there is
more resilience to what is happening. That is why the work
he does in the gym is important.”
