Ange Postecoglou also confirmed that Cristian Romero has returned to training but he wont be ready for first team action for another week-to-10 days.

He said: "Cristian is training, yes, but he's not travelled, he's not playing - it's probably another week to 10 days for him."

Pape Sarr will miss Thursday's fixture against Hoffenheim after picking up an injury in training, while Djed Spence, Sergio Reguilon, Antonin Kinsky and Yang Min-Hyeok are all ineligible to play.
