The team's injury report is positive, with no other updates after the international break. Andrews noted that the players had a busy week, but were in good spirits after training together.

Andrews also spoke highly of forward Igor Thiago, who has been in impressive form, scoring 8 goals in the Premier League. Andrews believes Thiago has a strong chance of receiving a call-up to the Brazil national team under manager Carlo Ancelotti, saying, "He would love to don the Brazil jersey – it's a huge ambition of his. We will help him as much as we can to hopefully achieve that." Andrews praised Thiago's development, ambition, and patriotism, highlighting his importance to the team.

The team will continue to support Thiago as he strives for international recognition.
