We had 15 players from the senior squad on duty with everyone back together and ready to train on Friday - one day for Mauricio and the coaching staff to get the players ready to face Bournemouth as we return to Premier League action on Saturday (3pm).
"It’s difficult for everyone, not just us," said Mauricio. "All the players arrived yesterday (Thursday) and today (Friday) and we have no time."
How did he manage to get everything done? "It’s impossible! We have to assess how much time we can work and there is lots to do. It’s important to prioritise the things that are most important for the team to arrive in the best condition and trust in the players and in the way we are working.
