West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Manchester City at London Stadium (kick-off 20:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
Crysencio Summerville is out with calf issue, with a prognosis to be confirmed.
Nuno denied that returning to the field made Summerville's injury worse: "It can happen at any moment. He was a big help to the team."
He said that Monday was "a memorable night" and puts their FA Cup progress down to "hard work, unity, team spirit and some luck".
On the positive atmosphere amid a relegation battle: "The togetherness, the unity has been amazing, realising that everyone is needed and must give their best."
When asked if he will watch Spurs, Nottingham Forest and Leeds at the weekend: “I’m going to watch all of the games – some of them live, some of them afterwards. I watch all the games – not only the opponents that we have – from the perspective of work. Seeing what can I take – sometimes ideas, I try to steal them, try to apply them to our team. It’s always nice, it’s always helpful.”
On Mateus Fernandes: "He's a young player who still has a lot to develop. He's shown a lot of character and he always gives it his all."
On Axel Disasi: "He's integrated himself really well in the squad. He's doing really well. Credit to him."
When asked to comment on Manchester City's flexibility when players such as Erling Haaland have not been available, Nuno said: "They have an identity so that any player that you put in immediately clicks. So many options, so many talented players."
Former goalkeeper Nuno said of Spurs goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky’s “tough” moment against Atletico Madrid: “How you come out of this moment defines you.”
He said goalkeeping is "probably" the loneliest position in the team and agreed with a reporter who suggested it is the hardest: "There is no hiding the huge responsibility of the goalie."
