We are pushing him like crazy for the weekend.[LNB]"Steven did his hamstring in the game against Liverpool, which was 13 days ago. He's making okay progress. We never rule players out here, but we will see how it goes for the weekend.[LNB]"Marouane got injured against Arsenal and didn't report it until after the Man Utd game. He played 50 minutes against Liverpool and did a great job for the team there. [LNB]"There's a little tiny crack (in a bone in his back) and it will heal itself, it just takes a bit of time."[LNB]
