“Yes, (Caicedo) is ready to go. (We) used the time with Moises to get (him) fit again. He trained well and he is ready to go. (…) We certainly missed him and we are happy to have him back. He is feeling better. We didn’t want to take any risks for Brentford for example because we did against Brighton, I (took a risk) myself and said ‘Xabi, you have it bad done’ but now he feels much better.”
“(JP, James and Palmer) were able to train (also). Some of them earlier than others. Marco Palestra as well. So we used the time and that was the plan. We knew against Brentford we were with some players struggling but now they have trained well and they are ready to go.
“(For Cole) the most important thing… is that he is in top form, that he is enjoying his game, that he is feeling good. Every time he is not, like in the Brentford game, we could see that he was struggling and for the next game we have a good feeling with him and he is feeling better.”
