“Cole took a knock [vs Arsenal] but he’s absolutely fine. He’s looking really good, and I think you can see how we’ve managed him in recent weeks. He played 83 minutes and it was tactical decision to take him and Enzo off, because they were on yellow cards and I wanted to get some fresh energy on in Garna and Liam. So yes, Cole’s absolutely fine to start the game on Wednesday and Reece is also fine.”
“Cucu is looking really good, and hopefully we can get him back involved if not on Wednesday, then on Saturday [vs Wrexham]. That is great for us with the schedule that we have coming up. Estêvão is back on the pitch running, which is great and he’s doing really well. Jamie Gittens is also progressing well with his rehab.
‘“It was brilliant to have Roméo get his first minutes in a long time [on Sunday]. I felt he looked really strong. I think he is close to starting. We have managed him in a different way in terms of rehab, and hopefully, now that he is back fit, he stays fit.”
