We were affected by the injuries to Camavinga and Lucas Vázquez and we brought on players who were pushing the limit, like Mendy and Carvajal.“Camavinga had a knock on his knee, Lucas Vázquez sprained his ankle and Militão felt dizzy. Militão is fine because I've spoken to him. We have to evaluate Camavinga and Lucas Vázquez seems to have the most serious injury”. “We wanted to reach the final. We do well in the finals and we'll see what happens. This is a different situation from last year. We're going to fight flat out to win the Super Cup”. "On Sunday we’ll have a competitive defense. Carvajal and Mendy have shown that they‘ve gotten over their injuries. We just have to evaluate Lucas Vázquez and Militão”.“I think Camavinga and Militao will be available for the final on Sunday, just like Carvajal and Mendy, who will be ready.” He added.
