The German also confirmed that fellow new recruit Diogo Jota, who scored a hat-trick against Atalanta in midweek, is fit and available amid speculation he’d suffered a knock.
Here’s the full story .

Manchester United will reportedly reignite their interest in a loan move for Barcelona winger Ousmane Dembele in January.
While United were finally able to bring more recruits to the club on transfer deadline day this past summer, they failed in their attempts to recruit a first team ready right-winger, which had been their priority throughout the window.
Borussia Dortmund star Jadon Sancho was the club's top target, but United were unwilling to meet the Bundesliga side's valuation while Dortmund remained adamant that the England international would not be leaving the club after their deadline of August 10 passed without a deal being completed.
United persevered with negotiations, even making progress in Sancho's personal terms and agent fees, but they began to seek out short term alternatives with Ivan Perisic, David Brooks and Douglas Costa all looked at.

Dembele was also another name that was considered, though it's understood that any potential move would have only been on loan and not a permanent signing.
The Frenchman has struggled to live up to expectations since his £117million move to Barcelona and he has been plagued by a series of serious injuries. He has made a promising start to the current season, though, and scored the winner against Juventus in the Champions League recently.
According to Mundo Deportivo, Dembele has now become a priority for United in the new year, so they can strengthen the squad after recent poor results.
However, the report adds that Barcelona would want to sell Dembele due to their financial issues, which isn't an option for United as they still want to bring Sancho to the club.
Meanwhile, United will demand just £53million for Paul Pogba in the summer transfer window, according to reports.
United triggered the one-year extension clause in Pogba's contract earlier this year which will mean he will have one-year remaining next summer.
AS report Pogba will be sold for only £53m with Real Madrid interested in the World Cup winner.


themanchestereveningnews--2020-11-06--Local contact tracing deluged with missed and out-dated Serco cases

Local contact tracing teams are being deluged with cases from the national Serco-run system , many of them already so out-of-date there is little point following them up .
Public health departments have seen caseloads rocket in the past few weeks , with some town halls seeing six times the cases they had expected and well beyond what had been forecast .
They are also seeing many cases arrive after a considerable lag of a week or more .
One director of public health said her department was simply abandoning some of the ones being passed to it by Serco @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is so long the resource is better deployed with other contact tracing work .
Warning ‘ speed is of the essence ’ , Tameside ’ s Jeanelle de Gruchy added : “ We ’ ve got to get people who are positive and their contacts home to self isolate very quickly .
And it ’ s just not still happening.
” Other departments suspect the central system has not even tried to make contact before passing many of the cases on .
The pattern is also evident outside Greater Manchester .
Data seen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ authority shows its public health department is seeing most cases arrive from the central system five or six days after the person in question was tested , although hundreds more are also landing a week or more after that point - up to 13 days after the positive test result was recorded .
One senior health figure here said local systems were now being used as a ‘ sticking plaster ’ for a ‘ failing national system ’ .
All councils have been tasked with following up ‘ complex ’ cases - those @ @ @ @ @ @ @ since the beginning of the pandemic , but more recently they have begun to receive routine cases that the national system has failed to contact , in the hope that local expertise will be able to track them down .
That was work local authorities were keen to take on , although the premise relies on high-quality and timely data arriving from the central system , so they can ensure the people in question self-isolate quickly .
However the numbers coming through have far exceeded what was originally expected .
A report to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ between September 4 and October 22 , the workload of local contact tracers rocketed seven-fold - from 76 a week to 544 .
“ The service is currently dealing with a much higher volume of referrals than the initial modelling projected , ” says the report .
Oldham 's team has been seeing six times as many cases as expected , meanwhile .
“ We are certainly seeing far more cases coming through than the original modelling was suggesting that we would , '' said the borough 's director of public health Katrina @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that we would get about seven cases a day and the numbers are more in the mid forties - so significantly higher .
So we have been at how we best can resource that in terms of what staffing we need to respond to that.
” Speaking at the parliamentary Public Administration and Constitutional Affairs Committee yesterday , Dr de Gruchy - president of the Association of Directors of Public Health as well as DPH at Tameside - said some cases her department is receiving are so delayed , there is effectively little @ @ @ @ @ @ @ We are having cases passed to us from the national system that are seven days old , already - and we ’ re just not following those up , because we ’ re having to prioritise our effort in other ways , ” she said .
Analysis seen by the M.E.N .
for another northern authority outside of Greater Manchester shows the bulk of cases - around 70pc - are arriving with the city 's local team between four and six days after a positive test was first received .
Around 15pc are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ point .
The frustration within town halls around timely and good-quality data has echoes of those earlier in the pandemic , when directors of public health were unable to access testing data and therefore couldn ’ t work out how the virus was spreading in their area .
Ms de Gruchy told MPs that the problem was rooted in the fact government had created brand new centralised operations that did not speak to each other , or to expertise locally , instead of using existing public health structures .
For months , she @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expected to ‘ justify ’ why they needed data - such as the details of who in their area had tested positive and where they were - passing from the new national-level operation .
“ [ There was ] a lot of energy going into why we needed that data and having to make a case for it , when actually we were in the middle of an epidemic , ” she said .
“ That should have been really clear .
The case should have been that locally , local directors of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ systems needed that data to be effective in our response.
” She added : “ We have to have it .
It ’ s fundamental to what we do.
” While the individual details of people who were testing positive in their areas did eventually start to arrive in August , she said , the design of the national response - including a number of new centralised systems set up in ‘ silos ’ outside existing public health - remains a fundamental problem where contact tracing is concerned .
There are so many @ @ @ @ @ @ @ through within those silos , she said , that delays are effectively ‘ built in ’ .
“ Speed is of the essence .
We ’ ve got to get people who are positive and their contacts home to self isolate very quickly .
And it ’ s just not still happening.
” New national track and trace statistics released yesterday continue to show that in some parts of Greater Manchester little more than half of close contacts are being reached by the national system , at a time when hospitals are coming @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Oldham still has one of the highest proportion of contacts missed nationally , with only 53pc tracked down , as the borough once again records the highest infection rate in the country and cases soar among the over-60s in particular , a situation already feeding through into the hospital system .
Only Bradford , Blackburn , Luton and the City of London & Hackney fare worse .
In Manchester the figure is 54pc and in Bolton it is 56pc .
One senior Greater Manchester health figure said that although councils were keen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , that had only been designed a ‘ mop up ’ operation to pick up the ‘ few cases that the national contact tracing system couldn ’ t make contact with ’ .
Instead , councils are becoming overwhelmed , they said .
“ Local contact tracing has become a sticking plaster for a failing national system , which is threatening to compromise the ability of local public health teams to do the complex contract tracing for outbreaks in care homes , schools and work places , '' they added .
The local @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 'complex ' aspect of contact tracing - which they said currently has 97pc success - effectively was ‘ crucial to containment ’ , they added .

Weetabix has been mocked for suggesting a 'date night ' recipe using chicken AND its cereal .
People were a bit confused by the suggestion tweeted from the brand 's account .
It said that followers should accompany their `` cosy date night '' with `` Chicken Weetabix . ''
Which does n't sound like a cereal we 'll be tucking into any time soon .
Posting on Bonfire Night , the cereal brand said : `` # BonfireNight may look a little different this year , but it 's a good excuse for a cosy date night with our @ @ @ @ @ @ @ posted a picture of the coated chicken , alongside a recipe and instructions .
The recipe requires you to have : two tablespoons of light mayonnaise , two skinless chicken breast fillets , 25g fresh breadcrumbs , 25g lightly crushed Weetabix and a prepared salad .
After dipping the chicken in mayonnaise , you mix the crumbs and Weetabix with some seasoning before coating the fillets .
And as we 've already said , people were pretty baffled , and disgusted by the idea .
One said : `` Crushed weetabix and mayo @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cant be real . ''
`` It 's a pandemic , not the end of civilisation , '' wrote another .
A third commented : `` What fresh hell is this ? ''
`` Weetabix from a bowl is very nice .

While one added a touch of humour and joked : `` I was going to make this but I went for Lamb and Sugar Puffs instead . ''
Would you give it a go ?
