Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche has been speaking to the media before Friday's Premier League game against Leeds United at Elland Road (kick-off 20:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- On Team news: "Pretty good, Callum [Hudson-Odi] has a knock on his shoulder, he landed awkwardly, but it's nothing too serious even though it's a painful one. We will have to make a decision on that, not today but over the next 36 hours."
- Dyche believes there is a "rough chance" goalkeeper Mat Selz will be available for Friday: "We're waiting over the next 48 hours to get some advice on it, so we'll take an opinion over the next few days before I think about the length of it. We have a chance, but we'll see how it settles."
- On signing "up and coming" defender Luca Netz in the January transfer window: " He's a young, up and coming player, who adds balance because we are limited in that position. He's one amongst a number of players here I think who have been brought in for a 'what's next' type of thing but that doesn't mean he can't play now."
- On new goalkeeper Stefan Ortega: "He's a keeper that we have liked from history. I have always said that we have great goalkeepers at this football club. John getting injured has allowed the chance for Ortega to come in. He's enjoying it so far and has mixed in with the group."
- However, Dyche said Forest also missed out on transfer targets: "There was a number of situations that we felt like we could operate in but I did say before it's not just targeting players, it's getting deals done which isn't an easy process but overall, we have talented players here."
