"Mason is making significant progress," Carrick noted. "He’s on the field now and getting nearer, eager to train and be involved very soon."
"He’s making progress. He’s had to exercise patience, and being a key player, we’re ensuring he’s prepared for a strong conclusion to the season.
"The positive update is that he’s nearing his goal.
"Matthijs has been dealing with a back problem that has been progressing a bit more slowly than expected. We’ve been addressing it, and he’s making progress. He’s moving in the right direction, but as I mentioned, he’s still a bit behind schedule."
"It’s one of those situations that can be disheartening, but it’s simply an aspect of football that we have to accept. We’ll have him back as soon as possible, especially since this match is part of the league schedule against Crystal Palace."
"The nature of the injury and the situation with the back is just how it is. It’s challenging to define, particularly in terms of timing. He is certainly making progress, which is positive, and we are focused on that. At this point, there isn’t much more I can provide."
