We don't expect Florian to be available. That's a disappointment, something I didn't expect after last week. Sometimes that's how things can evolve. It's a big accomplishment for him to stay fit for such a long time because he had to stay fit to make the step up but unfortunately he is not available, which is a disappointment for him and for us, because he played really well.
The most injuries we have are not related to overloading. When you look at Alex's injury, it has nothing to do with overloading the player. It's the same with Wataru Endo.

I've said a lot about the tackle of Xavi Simons, which for me was completely unintentional. I don't think you will ever get an injury out of a tackle like that. But the tackle from Van de Ven, if you make a tackle like that 10 times, 10 times there is a chance the player gets a serious injury.
