Ange Postecoglou gave us an update on Cristian Romero and Richarlison after Saturday's 2-1 win against Everton.
Centre-back Cuti came off at half-time and was seen on the bench with ice on the back of his leg in the second half. Speaking to our Review Show, Ange told us: "He felt a bit tight in his hamstring, so we’ll have to see."
Asked about Cuti in his post-match press conference, Ange replied: "He felt tightness in his hamstring just before half-time, so we had to take him off."
Richarlison made it four goals in his last three games with the opener against his former club after nine minutes. He was substituted on 63 minutes and appeared to be holding his back as he came off.
Asked about Richy in his presser, Ange said: "Yeah he's okay. He had a sore back yesterday in training. He wasn’t 100 per cent, but he was keen to start today. He got through the game. It's pleasing for him that he took his goal well and worked hard for us. I kind of knew that at some point we’d have to take him off, but I don’t think it’s anything serious."
