Regarding Mason Mount, Amorim praised his technical skills and ability to balance the team. He also mentioned that De Ligt has been experiencing back pain, which has led to some caution in managing his playing time.

Amorim's concerns will grow with the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations, which will lead to more rotation and potential departures from the squad. He is still in conversations with national teams and expects to have a better understanding of the situation by the end of the day.

Amorim acknowledged that the uncertainty can be frustrating, but also sees it as an opportunity to work on various scenarios and prepare for any situation. He also commended Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola for his work in improving the team and developing players.

Finally, Amorim praised the way Bournemouth plays, describing it as a big team with a high level of skill. He believes that several of their players have the potential to compete at a high level, which is a testament to Iraola's coaching.
