Happy birthday, Claude Makelele! 🥳

Squad. 📸💪

🗣️ Liam Rosenior ahead of Burnley [H] in the Premier League:

🏥 𝐎𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜 𝐂𝐮𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐚’𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐲:

“I can’t give an exact time-frame on Marc. He suffered a hamstring injury just before half-time in the Leeds United game.

“It’s a real shame because he’s an outstanding player, and one of the best left-backs in the world.“

🧘‍♂️ 𝐎𝐧 𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐦𝐞:

“I encouraged the players to go and get some sun. They have been at it non-stop for 18 months and sometimes the best way to rejuvenate yourself and be fresh is to switch off and take time.

“That was my idea. I know people question it if we don’t win games but in the moment it was the right thing for the players considering the workload they had.”

💪 𝐎𝐧 𝐁𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐥𝐞𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐠𝐮𝐞:

“Every team can beat everyone. That’s why the league is so close in terms of points.

“We need to win our game. It's as simple as that. We need to do our job. It's not going to be simple. Burnley went away to Crystal Palace and won.

“What we have to do is focus on our own performance and prepare our selves right, and the way I like to do it is be consistent with our process.”
