James Milner on 'tough' Genk test, Ballon d'Or nominees and his future

The vice-captain addressed the media 24 hours prior to the European champions’ third Group E fixture at the Luminus Arena.

Milner fielded questions on a wide variety of topics, and you can read a summary of his answers below…

On whether this game will be more ‘straightforward’ than the last Champions League outing against Salzburg…

I don’t think any Champions League games are straightforward. We know it’ll be a tough game, they’re strong at home, they’re a strong side anyway. I think they had a good European campaign last year and obviously after a good result against Napoli they’re going to be full of confidence and wanting to put on a big performance and be a big test for us.
