Brentford boss Keith Andrews has been speaking to the media before Monday's FA Cup game against West Ham at London Stadium (kick-off 19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Rico Henry suffered a hamstring injury against Bournemouth on Tuesday and will be unavailable for a “decent period of time”.
Andrews said: "I'm really, really gutted for him. I was obviously here last year, and I'd seen the struggles that you go through as a player when you're injured, as well as what you have to show mentally to come through those periods. The frustration of watching your team-mates go out every day is heartbreaking, because you can't do what you love doing. We did really well to get him back, and his performances were outstanding – what he was producing against some of the best wingers in the league was so impressive. He epitomises the way I like the game to be played: aggressive and front-footed. And he's been a big, big part of what has been the best chapter in this club's history."
Reiss Nelson is likely to be involved on Monday, having previously featured in both FA Cup fixtures this season, but Andrews is not "entirely sure" yet.
On playing Keane Lewis-Potter at left-back with Henry out: "I'm open to everything, really. I think you have to be. I would never close any doors on anything. The reality is Keano is a winger. He was brought to the club as a winger and he's attack-minded."
On being nominated for Premier League manager of the month: "It is nice, of course, but it is just a testament to the work that has gone on and the level of the performances the boys have produced, especially away from home, during this period. I think the work that goes into it from everybody has got us to that point over a period of time, which we have worked tirelessly to get to. So it is nice to see it come to fruition in some big games – and, of course, it is a nice pat on the back for everybody that has played a huge part in it."
Meanwhile, Dango Ouattara was nominated for player of the month after scoring two goals and contributing two assists for Brentford in February. Andrews said: "He's been really impressive but I also think there's a lot more [to come] from him. He's a dream to work with. He's produced massive moments and is constantly looking to develop his game around our structure. He's a very valued member of the squad"
On West Ham: "We've treated the cup competitions seriously and this will be no different. They've got themselves into a better position in the league so it'll be a tricky game for us. We'll do everything we can to navigate through to the quarter-finals."
