Injuries?
Yunus “Unfortunately he felt something. So he’s not available. Wilf will be out until the international break. It’s a muscle problem. It’s a small issue. We don’t want to take any risks. Tom is back with us. Kasey is back. It’s good news. But at the same time, there is bad news.”

Cannon?
“We’ll see if we involve him tomorrow, if not for sure the next one.”

Leeds?
“If you remember before QPR, you asked about Winks and Dewsbury-Hall being on four yellow cards and I said that QPR was three points. So Leeds is just another game. It’s three points.”

Leeds threats?
“We know they are good in transition, but they are not only good in transition. Summerville, James, Gnonto, they are very quick, we need to be careful. More than ever, we need many passes before we attack. If we attack quick, they will attack quick. We don’t want that.”

Start?
“We are happy and appreciate it. We are in November, so hopefully we can repeat the same until February with the distance between us.”

Justin?
“Most of the time he has to build with his left foot so it’s not ideal for him. He’s making an effort to do it. I came in June and while the rest of the players were on holiday, he was running around the pitch. It shows how serious JJ is.”

Choudhury?
“He’s trained normally. The situation is clear. The club made a statement and the player clarified.”

McAteer ready to start?
“He looks good. He played some minutes last week. He is ready. If he is going to play tomorrow, he could be an option.”

Cannon - what will he bring?
“For sure energy, because he’s young. Because it was a long time out, he needs time to come back in the right way. It’s good news he is working with us in the last three or four sessions. He needs to work consistently. Soon we’re going to use him.”

More work on training pitch this week because no midweek game?
“We gave them two days off after QPR. We started the week on Tuesday. The number of games has been incredible.”

Special night?
“It’s a special night, but I don’t see any difference from the Sunderland game. It’s the same amount of points. Three points QPR and three points tomorrow.”
