🗞️ BBC Sport

Enzo Maresca ahead of Copenhagen [A] in the UEFA Conference League Round of 16:

📈 𝐎𝐧 𝐭𝐞𝐚𝐦 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬:

“They are both ready [Trevoh Chalobah & Benoit Badiashile].

“Trev, fortunately for us, was not something serious, so he is ok. Benoit is back and has been training with us in the last ten days, maybe even more.

“Wes [Fofana] is not in the squad but is back. Romeo [Lavia] started to train with us in the last two days. So slowly, slowly we have all the players back which is important for the final rush of the season.

“Robert [Sanchez] starts tomorrow, yes.

“In this moment, he has played against Brighton away in the FA Cup, then he didn’t play in the Premier League, but tomorrow he is going to play. I have said many times about Robert, that it’s a matter of giving him different kinds of games and trying to help him.”

🤝 “We said a few times that, unfortunately, our bad moment started with the amount of injuries. Now, some of them are back and some of them are in the process of coming back. That is a huge boost for me but also for the players.

“That is because you see players who were there for the first six or seven months of the season – when we were there [near the top of the Premier League table]. So it is important for the final rush of the season.”

🇩🇰 𝐎𝐧 𝐅𝐂 𝐂𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐠𝐞𝐧:

“The team plays very nice football. It’s a team that always tries to control the game. I watched the Conference League games, the games in the league and they try to control and dominate the game every time. There is a clear idea. They have a good mix [of players]. Up front, they have good players and in the midfield they have experienced players like Delaney. They are a good team.”
