🎙️ Xabi Alonso on Reece James injury: "He felt something and we did tests later in the afternoon. He had little issues with the knee. We will see how long he is going to be and we will assess week by week."
Xabi Alonso on scoring early: "I have nothing to do with it so I don't have the answer. I have no explanation, so I can take no credit. It has never happened to me before to score this many early goals."
Alonso was impressed with Caicedo - Henderson pivot : f“In terms of the positioning, they help each other well. They give presence, they give stability as well. They are going to be the ones that are helping the rest of the players. As well, defensively, they give good balance. It's fundamental we get that area strong”
