…INJURY REPORT

Will is out for the last game against Aston Villa. It looked terrible on the video in the game and on the video but fortunately everything is OK with his ligament. He has a bone bruise and he will be out for several weeks. He should be back for pre-season, but he is out for the last game. Jefferson Lerma is fit and will come back to the squad, and all others are fit. I’m always pleased if a player comes back from injury. It’s good, but he was out for four weeks now and this was the first week of training, so he has to get back into the rhythm, but it’s good to have him back.

…ABOUT THE SEASON

I'm pleased with the performances we've had. We want to win, but Villa wants to win too. We always focus on what we can influence. If we don't do our job, we don't win, we can't be 10th. It's good motivation at home to say thank you to the fans. You can see they are having fun and enjoying it. I like standing outside watching them and how much fun they have. Everyone feels well, likes to come in, in the morning, work hard and have fun together. This is crucial for their performances on the pitch.

…INJURY REPORT

Nicolo Zaniolo is out with a metatarsal injury, while Matty Cash, Youri Tielemans, Jacob Ramsey, Alex Moreno, Emi Buendia, Boubacar Kamara and Tyrone Mings are also sidelined.

…CHAMPIONS LEAGUE

It was amazing when we got it. At the beginning of the season it was a dream. We worked hard to get there. I told you earlier in the season, until game 33, 34 maybe we could change the target. Even when we lost the fifth place possibility, we had to fight hard again. The party on Tuesday was fantastic. I was really happy with the players and coaches. I know how important it is to be there and compete in it. Through the Premier League, to get it is very difficult. To get it is fantastic. Now, after the next challenge, it is about preparing for the new season.

…FUTURE

It is a dream. It is very difficult. When we were at the beginning of the season playing two matches against Manchester City and Arsenal, we won both matches. We were there. Those teams are amazing, with consistency. I want to get better - I have my dreams and I believe in my dreams. Of course my objective is to win the Premier League or the Champions League. We are not contenders, but it is our dream to get something like that in the league or in the Champions League.
