Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Wednesday's Premier League game against Burnley at Selhurst Park (19:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner said he has no new injury concerns after Sunday's win over rivals Brighton and that “Justin Devenny is returning to the squad so it’s all good”.
Providing an update on Jean-Phillipe Mateta, he said: "Fortunately he doesn't need surgery [on his knee problem]. The injury is not as bad as feared, and so we think – and the opinion from several specialists and doctors – is that we can deal with the knee in a better way than with surgery."
More on the striker, whose deadline day move to AC Milan fell through: "He will miss a certain time – I can't say two weeks, three weeks or four weeks. Of course it's a disappointment, but now he's looking forward to the next months and it's good for him that a final decision has been taken. In the end, he took the final decision, with the recommendation of all the specialists and our medical department."
Glasner said Mateta is determined to return and contribute for the Eagles this season: "He will have the next [stage of] rehab here at the training ground, and he wants to be back as soon as possible and contribute to achieve our goals. He will be a Palace player until at least the summer and we have that clarity. I'm 100% convinced JP will give his all when he wears the Eagles shirt again."
Asked if he could rethink his decision to leave the club at the end of the season, Glasner said: "My decision to leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season is final. Nothing will change."
On Maxence Lacroix stepping up after Marc Guehi's departure: "He plays incredibly – so consistent. The level he is showing is really high and we can rely on him."
On the mood in the camp after ending a 12-match winless run with victory at Brighton: "For everyone who likes Crystal Palace then it is a tough period, but that is sport and life. We had many, many months of enjoying and now it is more about finding solutions, so it was nice to get the win at Brighton. A special win, of course, in the derby. We have spoken about it often – we have more options now, more players are back."
