Tottenham boss Roberto De Zerbi has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- On team news, De Zerbi said Destiny Udogie has a "problem" and won't be available but could be back for the next game. He also said Souza is available to be in the squad.
- On whether James Maddison is fit after being named on the bench last weekend, he said: "He's not available yet, especially in this week, he felt pain, but not an important problem. Tomorrow he'll come with us on the bench."
- He added: "He's important for us whether he plays or not. It's better he plays but also as a guy, as a leader, as a positive guy inside my dressing room. I want to see nice people and positive people."
- On the need to win at Molineux, De Zerbi said he doesn't want to put too much "pressure" on the team but his side "can't forget" where they are in the table and how much they need to win.
- He added: "Anyway, if we win in Wolverhampton, it is not finished yet. There are four other games, but I think now we deserve to win a game. Also with Brighton, I knew before the game it is one of the best teams in the Premier League in this moment. After their game against Chelsea, everyone knows. We played a good game and deserved to win.”
- On the Premier League's announcement that the decision not to send off Sunderland’s Brian Brobbey in a game they lost was a “mistake”, he replied: “Can we play the game again?”
- He said he he has "very big respect" for his opposite number Rob Edwards and he remembers having a very tough time against him when he was manager of Luton Town.
- On racist abuse Kevin Danso received last week, which the club condemned, De Zerbi said he was "very annoyed" and the defender had a "fantastic" game last week and the club are "very lucky" to have him.
