This is the Blood Red Podcast from the Liverpool Echo, giving you the inside track on all the big talking points from Anfield.

The other can stop the injuries if we can,

Alexo Chaimler, last scene for example,

protective boom and crutches.

How is he and there's any use on anyone else in the sport?

No news on anyone else which is good news and with Oxley. Yeah, the Hankin

was we probably expected it. You have three ligaments on the outside of the ankle and one of them is damaged and now we have to see how quick we can fix that. I don't know exactly. I had that injury as myself, but it's years ago.

And yeah, it can take a while or can be quicker we have to see but no chance of

course for Thursday no chance so this year Oxley will not play anymore that's

clear and then we have to see how quick it can settle yeah

that's it.

Both and Fabino both in a really good way but of course not not ready for for these games no

What about how much shape to think about fatigue I know you travel and you

you expect to score to be fit but will you only know when the players run out against Leicester

whether they are feeling in the legs because they're a lot of minutes.

Look, the only real thing I can say because if whatever, as the players we are all in a situation where everybody wants to be constantly fit

so I don't have to ask them but I can only judge myself the way to Qatar, sleeping wise was difficult

to get used to for me. on the way back it was completely normal

since then it's all good we had yesterday day off I'm pretty sure the boys slept

as much as they could and they should be completely fine today.

From the outside from that point of view the way there was climate change all that stuff

that was really kind of intense And we needed really days, maybe nearly the full week to get used to it.
