I’m sure the guys will bounce back and take all the positives from this game.Your next match is on October 28, so are you looking forward to this break?Definitely, in three weeks we have played six games. Now we will recover and train for the next game.How serious is the injury to Nico Velez?The physio is looking after him, I’m sure he’ll be fully fit in a few days.
