🎙️ Unai Emery. #AVFC Team news ahead of the Fenerbahce tie. #UCL 'There are negative ways for some players, because they are injured, like (Matteo) Ruggeri. We don’t know exactly how long it’s going to be, but it will be some weeks that he’s going to be out, more than one month.' 'We need to find solutions because (Ian) Maatsen is not yet available. I think, the way he is getting better, he should be joining us in a few days or a week, so it’s positive.' 'Leon Goretzka is in the squad for tomorrow; George Hemmings is still being with a small (knee) pain – not for tomorrow but maybe on Saturday he can come back.' '(Modou Keba) Cisse are starting to train with us and we have some players without the possibility to play in the Champions League, like Taylor (Harwood-Bellis) and (Brian) Madjo.' 'Hopefully, Madjo can join us in the group for Saturday. Some players are getting injured, and some players are coming back, but our structure must be enough to play with our improvements and the expectation we have to improve for tomorrow.'
