"It is going to be about match time and getting their sharpness back. I don't anticipate too many players will have lost too much in those weeks that they have had off because they have always been good at looking after themselves.
"It’s just about getting that feeling of your legs burning a bit and your lungs hurting a bit and getting on to the pitch again."

The government's new 'Rule of Six' could mean groups hoping to holiday together this Autumn will have to cancel their trips.
Which could mean many plans for a late break in the UK could be scuppered for those hoping to travelling with those outside their own household.
Previously, families and friends from two families of four would have been able to go on holiday together. But once the rules are implemented, this will not only be against guidelines, it will also be against the law.
But as many plan to holiday at Britain's coastlines and beauty spots to avoid the risks involved with of international travel, many people who had planned a break could now come unstuck.
Following the announcement, accommodation providers have been fielding questions from holidaymakers anxious that the new rules will disrupt their trip.
And with chief medical officer Prof. Chris Witty stating the new rules are unlikely to be lifted in the coming weeks, it looks like staycations could now be in the firing line for further restrictions.
So where does this leave people with a UK holiday booked?
The new rules
From September 14, it will be against the law for more than six people to meet either indoors or outdoors in England - and it's set to be in place for the foreseeable future.
For anyone caught flouting the rules, fines will be £100 for a first offence, then doubling for every further offence up to a maximum of £3,200.
However this does not apply to households or bubbles of more than six people.
The present rule, which allows gatherings of up to 30 from two different households has now been scrapped completely.
It's unclear how this will be policed at this stage.
Rental holiday homes and cottages
If you have booked a holiday home, cottage, self-catering accommodation or Airbnb for instance, for a group of more than six people then you could be in breach of the new rules.
Specific guidelines have not been revealed whether it is on the customer to self-police, or if it will be the responsibility of the owner/rental company to control bookings. Although it will be likely you will have to confirm upon booking that your party is from one household or bubble.
Hotels
If your entire party of more than six is staying in one hotel room, this will be against the rules. But if you're staying in separate rooms, this will be legal.
However socialising in communal areas in the hotel will be subject to the rule of six, so no more than six people should gather together unless they are from the same household or bubble.
Hostels
Hostels will need to reduce capacity or limit bookings to adhere to the rules.
Walking holidays
It is likely many walking holidays in England will now be cancelled. Contact your tour operator for details.

Will the rules differ in Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland?
Yes, and it is important to follow the rules in your chosen destination. Each of the four governments has now published its own roadmap for easing lockdown restrictions The rule of six currently only applies to England.
In Scotland, five households can meet outdoors, up to a maximum of 15 but one household cannot meet more than four households in a day. While three households, up to a maximum of eight people, can meet indoors, including overnight stays.
In Wales, up to 30 people can meet outdoors with no limit on the number of households. However when it comes to indoor gatherings, people should not enter each other’s homes outside their extended households - which is up to four households joined together.
In Northern Ireland, up to 15 people from different households can meet outdoors, while up to six people from two different households can meet indoors.
Can I get a refund?
It's very much a grey area for refunds. Guidance from the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) suggests that consumers should get a refund if they cancel or can't use a service because of Government health measures.
But the CMA guidance is advice - and it's an entirely unprecedented scenario. So while it is possible to use it to reason with an accommodation provider or even take it further, there's no guarantees.
Plus they could always argue that in some cases customers could still use the booking if just some of the group went on the trip - so are still able to provide the service that has been paid for.
The best course of action is to speak to your tour operator or accommodation provider directly - they may have a degree of flexibility. Many are already offering credit notes or refunds. It is also worth contacting your travel insurer too - but eligibility to claim will depend on your policy.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-10--Coronavirus is bouncing back in central Rochdale - but why?

A coronavirus hotspot 'cluster ' has emerged in central Rochdale - but the council 's health chief says it may not be the bad news it seems .
The borough has been placed on ‘ red alert ’ after seeing the biggest rise in infection rates in Greater Manchester last weekend .
Rochdale 's infection rate as of September 9 was 63.4 - the fifth highest in the region .
The Public Health England ( PHE ) heat map suggests cases are now largely concentrated in three neighbouring areas in the heart of the borough .
Wardleworth and Newbold Brow @ @ @ @ @ @ @ September 5 ; Central Rochdale and Mandale Park had 13 ; and Castleton and Trub had 10 .
Aside from Middleton East ( 11 ) , nowhere else recorded double figures - although several places in the west and south of the borough had between three a nine cases .
High infection rates in central Rochdale have been a long-standing challenge for the borough ’ s public health chiefs - and , on the surface , the latest data seems to suggest the virus is bouncing back in the area .
But Coun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and wellbeing , says it could reflect the fact more people are willing to get tested - because of the package of support the council has put in place for those having to self-isolate .
The authority has a Covid Emergency Assistance Fund - part funded by a £350,000 government grant - and this includes an Isolation Fund for those who have been told to stay at home .
Many low paid workers are reluctant to be tested , as a positive result would put them out of work , plunging them into @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not enough to cover essentials like food and energy , while the first Universal Credit payment for those forced on to benefits can take weeks to come through .
Coun Rowbotham says the statistics may be telling a more positive story .
She said : “ Maybe the positive spin on that is that people are going for testing , all the effort we have put in over the last few weeks has been to encourage people to get tested .
“ People were reluctant because of the time they have to isolate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ package of support in for people if they test positive .
We have to think that now we have got these figures , that ’ s a positive thing , because we can support them to isolate .

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-10--How the UK's coronavirus situation compares to other European countries

There has been a sharp rise in new coronavirus cases in the UK over the past few days - with around 2,500 to 3,000 recorded every 24 hours .
The daily death rate has remained low at around half a dozen .
But that jumped to 30 on Tuesday .
Matt Hancock said in a statement in the Commons the shift can be attributed to young people contracting the disease .
They are less likely to die .

The daily death rate has remained low at around half a dozen. But that jumped to 30 on Tuesday.
Matt Hancock said in a statement in the Commons the shift can be attributed to young people contracting the disease. They are less likely to die.

themanchestereveningnews--2020-09-10--Klopp's comments on Man City and Chelsea are sheer hypocrisy

Jurgen Klopp is an excellent manager and usually comes across as a thoroughly decent man .
But he seems to be making a pitch for Hypocrite of the Year , while feeding the myth of Liverpool ’ s special status as a football club .
The Merseysiders ’ manager has been throwing jabs at the spending of Chelsea and Manchester City in this transfer window , while remaining completely oblivious to his own recent record in the market .
Singling out Chelsea makes a degree of sense , as Frank Lampard ’ s side have topped the £200million mark in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of an eyebrow-raiser with many clubs being forced to draw in their horns – with some even downright struggling – due to the pandemic lockdown .
But Chelsea will still be subjected to the financial fair play ( FFP ) rules , despite the ridiculous claims that those rules were no longer relevant after City overturned Uefa ’ s two-year European ban in July .
And even though their spend is big , it is still eclipsed by Liverpool ’ s £236million splurge in 2018 – an amount which neither City nor Chelsea @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Liverpool have so far not strengthened this summer , other than bringing in left back Konstantinos Tsimikas for about £12million .
They pretty much killed their own ability to spend by placing their staff on furlough at the start of the pandemic lockdown , a decision they hastily reversed after a public outcry .
They retain an interest in Bayern Munich star Thiago Alcantara , but Klopp sounded a little bitter when asked about their transfer plans .
“ For some clubs it seems less important how uncertain the future is , ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dig at Chelsea , and an implicit one at City .
“ Owned by countries , owned by oligarchs , that 's the truth , ” he said .
“ We are a different kind of club .
We got to the Champions League final two years ago , we won it last year .
“ We became Premier League champions last season by being the club we are .
We can not change it overnight and say : 'Now we want to behave like Chelsea . '
” When he says `` @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , you can presume he means `` the club which stumped up the second biggest calendar year spend in football history '' .
But he is perpetuating the mythology of Liverpool as an old-fashioned club which does everything the right way , despite the evidence to the contrary .
The mention of “ owned by countries ” would seem to be a pop at City .
There is a misconception – clearly shared by Klopp - that the Blues are owned by the emirate of Abu Dhabi , rather than Sheikh Mansour ’ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ also neglected to explain the difference between being owned by an oligarch , a sheikh or the billionaire US businessmen who bought up his club .
And he failed to explain why he has performed yet another U-turn in his thinking .
This is the man who said he would walk away from football if he ever had to spend huge amounts of money , after Manchester United paid a world record £89million for Paul Pogba .
Then Liverpool splashed out the second biggest transfer spend in football history , and Klopp announced @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that he had “ changed his mind ” and that spending money in order to compete was perfectly OK. As long as it was Liverpool doing it , he forgot to add .
Now Chelsea have spent around 85 per cent of Liverpool ’ s 2018 buy-fest , and Klopp can ’ t understand it .
But his decision to include City in his criticism is even more hypocritical .
The Blues have spent around £62million on Nathan Ake and Ferran Torres , it is true .
They have also brought in around @ @ @ @ @ @ @ net spend - oft quoted by excitable Liverpool fans - is negligible .
City are also expected to bring in another centre back – as long as it stays within the strict bounds of their budget – but they could still sell to redress that balance , too .
What Klopp does not consider is that City have outstripped Liverpool off the field – their bumper new kit deal with PUMA means their revenue for the current financial year is expected to leap to £548million this year .
That puts City in United @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with their owners taking no profits out of the club , it means they are financially booming .
That is the reason City can afford a reasonable net transfer spend this summer .
Liverpool ’ s revenue has also boomed lately , which made their decision to furlough non-playing staff even more surprising and unethical .

The swab sticks are long in length because in order to be tested for Covid-19, the swabs need to reach the back of the throat.

In this unfortunate case, it is unclear whether the man was trying to test himself at home or he had swallowed the stick after visiting a testing station.
Hull Royal Infirmary said they were “unable to comment” after the incident on Tuesday.
In recent days, there have been problems with the testing system in the UK, with some people with symptoms being told to travel more than 100 miles to get tested.

Health Secretary Matt Hancock has blamed a rise in people without coronavirus symptoms seeking tests for the problems with the system.
Yet it is extremely rare for tests to go wrong.
However over in America, there has been a report of a man from Albuquerque also accidentally swallowed his Covid swab at a drive-through clinic when part of the stick snapped as he was being tested by a nurse.
Orlando Skidmore said: “She stuck it in my left nostril and she was counting to ten and somewhere between six and eight I heard it snap,but I thought it was something the device is supposed to be doing, and then she pulled out the stem and the rest of it didn't come out.
