“I was accustomed from early in this pandemic in Brazil. I had to work with infected players and I started to know this reality.
“It is a situation that can be very complicated for many teams. You don’t know where the virus is and travel is a danger.
“We worked all week thinking about the Rangers game. We have eight players out – but when the options are less, it’s easier to work with what you have.
