Graham Potter on Hakim Ziyech:

"He's fine. He's trained the last few days so he'll be involved against Brentford."


"He had a really heavy cold which knocked him about for a few days so the game against Villa came too soon but he's trained well recently so he'll be involved."

Graham Potter on goalkeeping coach Ben Roberts:

"We think so [special], it’s why we brought him with us. He did fantastically at Brighton with Rob and he is a good guy, good around the group, and he works the keepers really well."

"He creates a nice environment for them to push themselves, enjoy their football and be stimulated. He is an important member of the staff."
