On having a full squad: "A good situation. But it's much more important how we would play than who is playing. We need fresh legs for this game. But much more important is that we have the chance to change five times in the game, which is just a massive boost for football in general."

On Salah and Mane: "Both are a force of nature. I'm not surprised by it."
