Enzo Maresca ahead of Legia Warsaw [A] in the UEFA Conference League quarter-final first leg:
β€οΈβπ©Ή On supporting Wesley Fofana and Romeo Lavia, after both suffered setbacks from injury:
βWe are going to support them for sure because they are our players, because they are young, and because they are human beings and in a moment where they struggle for different reasons, we need to support them.
βUnfortunately, Wes will be out for the rest of the season. Hopefully we can get Romeo very soon. I donβt know if for the next game, but he looks quite good in terms of being back soon. We need to support both, and then at the end of the season we will see.β
π On Marc Guiuβs injury:
βWe have good news on Marc.
βFrom today he looks quite good, much better, and he can be back before the season finishes.β
𧀠On who will start in goal on Thursday:
βIt will be Filip [Jorgensen, who plays]. Robert [Sanchez] since we started is the number one. For part of the season, we decided to give him some games off.
βNow he is back, he is okay, and we continue in the same way.β
π€ On how he prepares his side for such a fierce atmosphere:
βFirst of all we try to show them also some of the environment in this stadium so they can adapt, they can be ready tomorrow. But fortunately, you know better than me, in England almost everywhere the environment is good, itβs nice. For sure tomorrow will be even more, but I always said the same that the players, they are lucky, they have to think that they are lucky to experience that kind of games and that kind of moment.β
πͺ On whether his knowledge of what the atmosphere will be like influence what kind of team he will pick, and whether the younger players are ready:
βThey are ready. I said Tyrique [George], if heβs ready, Josh [Acheampong] is ready, we have some young players that are ready, we gave them already some important games.Josh played two Premier League games in a row, and he played some moments of another different game, Ty exactly the same, he played already in the Premier League, and they are ready to play from the start. Then if they play, weβll see.β

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall ahead of Legia Warsaw [A] in the UEFA Conference League quarter-final first leg:
π€ βItβs going to be a good atmosphere, thatβs for sure.
βIt was amazing to play in before, a proper crazy atmosphere, so full credit to the Legia fans. They make it difficult and get right behind their team, but I think we can use that as a positive because itβs an atmosphere you want to experience.
βThe home fans will help their side for sure, but I think we can use it to our benefit too. Iβm looking forward to experiencing it again.
βIt was a little bit hostile [the atmosphere], but in a good way. There are a lot of passionate Polish fans and they really support their team. Iβd not experienced it before, but thatβs the good thing about playing in Europe, you get to experience different atmospheres.
βItβs something Iβm really thankful for and it definitely helped me when I made my progression to play in the Premier League. It helped me to get used to different environments and when the fans are being loud and getting right behind their team. It gave me a good base to kick on, and itβs nice that I can come back and experience it again.
βWhen I played here before, it was something I thrived on - even though we lost the game [with Leicester] - and Iβm looking forward to experiencing it again tomorrow.
βWeβre fully focused on the game and hopefully coming away with a win to set us up nicely before the second leg.β
