Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Thursday's Conference League quarter-final first leg against Fiorentina at Selhurst Park (20:00 BST).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Glasner said Adam Wharton picked up a "minor adductor issue" while playing in England's friendly draw against Uruguay over the international break but "it's all sorted" and "is available" to play on Thursday.
On Wharton, he added: "The English team managed the minutes very well so we are very pleased that Adam also got a little bit of a break and then started preparing for the Fiorentina game by Sunday."
Glasner broke the news that Eddie Nketiah picked up a fresh injury in training: "It's how football is – it looks like everybody is available for tomorrow's game and it was, up until two minutes before the end of the session. Eddie unfortunately injured his hamstring again and had to leave the pitch. He won't make tomorrow's squad and we will have a scan again but it doesn't look good again for him."
Glasner added: "He was very disappointed and we are suffering with him. The worst thing as a player is when you are injured, especially when you have setbacks, and that makes it really tough for Eddie. Like always he will have all our support to come back. We will know more tomorrow."
On the fitness of the rest of his squad, Glasner said: "All the others are available. On Sunday we trained with 23 outfield players for the first time this season. It's how it is."
On the international break: "We managed these three weeks quite well for everyone. I spent some time with the family, then we started with the players who were here – seven players plus a few from our under-21s. We started two weeks before tomorrow's game, and we had an in-house game with our under-21s to stay in the rhythm. All internationals had minutes with their national teams, then all the internationals had a few days off after the game – we could afford this."
How did he spend his personal time? "When I went home my calendar was empty and I was a bit nervous about what to do because I'm not used to it, but then I went skiing in the mountains, it was good, for two days, and I spent some time with the family."
On the challenge posed by Fiorentina: "On Saturday, I went to Verona to watch Fiorentina. On Sunday, we were all together and started to prepare. We had quite a lot of time to prepare – we feel ready and we're looking ready."
