“I think [Dom] is not close to it, I would say. I think we saw a Solanke that was on, whatever, 70%. It’s difficult [to know] when you are on 100%. I think we saw a lot of good things from him. He scored a goal, exactly where he should be, with a nice little triple contact. But the big positive is, he was where he should be in the box. There were three other situations where we were just doing the wrong movement, and then arrived front post instead of behind the defender, and on the end of the cross from Pedro. Both of them, we know, have a good connection.
“But that, how do we get that in? That’s playing minutes together. He is a very fit player in general, he can play with high intensity throughout the game. After 65 he was just done. That means there is more to come. And we would just, because it’s the first 65 minutes in seven months, something like that, so we are very aware that two good recovery days, then train tomorrow, then he’s available and ready for Saturday. And then we take it game by game. It’s more his fitness, match fitness. His injury is fine.
“[The injury situation] must be close to my third year in the Premier League with Brentford, I also had a horrendous year which impacted massively the Premier League season unfortunately so this is definitely close. The Bergvall one, how unlucky is that? With contact injuries, there was Joao? Kudus? Some of them is like what is happening here, seems like we are cursed or something like that but injuries are a part of football. Next thing we can look at is how can we speed up the return to play.”
