Bailly: We have to stay focused
The combative centre-back is ready to help Ralf Rangnick's squad hold on to a place in the Premier League's top four, after overcoming the ankle and head injuries he sustained while on duty for Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations.
"After coming back from AFCON I have no pain [in my ankle] anymore, so all is good," said Bailly, in an exclusive interview for United Review, the official match programme.
"I had some problems in a group-stage game against Sierra Leone with the head injury but afterwards it was not too bad. I was okay to play against Egypt and I tried to play a good game, we were just unlucky to lose on penalties.
