Pierre Sage insisted Ismaila Sarr needs time to "digest" his failed move to Liverpool and revealed that Jean-Philippe Mateta will be out for at least three weeks.
Sarr and Mateta have both been linked with moves away from the club this summer, and are currently both injured.
The winger has not played this season because of a hip injury, while the French forward has been out with a hamstring injury. Sage gave an update on both players.
"Like every bad situation, time does the job and we need time for that," he said on Sarr. "He needs time too. First of all he needs to recover because he was and is injured. He is our player and we are happy with that.
"Sarr has to digest it for sure because it's a dream for a lot of players to play with this kind of club [Liverpool]. He had a good opportunity but in the end it didn't work. If he wants to continue, you have to have a good season with us as he did last year. We know he needs time"
