You've got Matt Doherty back, how ready is he to play?
Yeah he's back. By the legal and clinical point of view he's ready. Is he ready to start a match? We don't know. Honestly I still have some work to do with him to understand that, but to participate in the game, playing or being on the bench, it's good, because in the Europa League we can have 12 players on the bench so 12 plus 11 makes 23 and it's good to have him in the 23-man squad.
When you're talking about centre-backs you haven't been mentioning Japhet Tanganga, is that because he's not fully fit or that you see him as a full-back?
For me he's a full-back. Can he play centre-back? Yes he can, of course he can, and he will if we need and we will need. He can play centre-back, but for me in the context of what high level football is and especially Premier League is, I see him more as a multi-functional defensive player but I see him more as a full-back.
