Murillo Injury: Recovering slowly

Murillo (thigh) is recovering slower than originally expected, according to manager Ange Postecoglou."Murillo is still kind of not where we want him to be. He is still not totally comfortable. He is still doing his individual training, and we hoped it would progress a little quicker. Obviously it was a pretty severe knock on his thigh, and the understanding was the healing process has been slower than what we thought. He just doesn't feel comfortable, so we have to be patient with him."

Murillo is still working on a thigh injury, and while he's back on grass and slowly integrating into training, it appears it's going much slower than originally anticipated. With limited chances before the international break, it's possible Murillo could be given the extra two weeks to recover. Morato should remain in the starting XI as long as Murillo is sidelined.
