Rafael Benítez said: “We will speak with the physios over the weekend before making a decision about Steven. It’s the same situation for all the players. Fernando trained today and has been working to a specific programme. Hopefully Glen will be available too, but we’ll have to wait and see. We will make late decisions with all of them.”
He added: “I am really relaxed in terms on my position because I know how we are working on the pitch every day. In the past we were doing really good things and we haven’t changed too much.
“It’s a question of confidence. We know we have to improve but it’s about winning the first game now. As a manager you know you will have good moments and bad moments. At this moment we know we have to improve, we have to win and it’s a question of time.”
“I’m sure that once we win the first game, everything will change. This game against United could be the right opportunity for us because it’s a massive game against our rivals and the fans will be behind the team from the first minute until the last. We can change everything.”
