Glasner provided an update on the team's injury situation, mentioning that midfielder Will Hughes may be a doubt for the match. However, he expressed confidence in the fitness of the players who were available for the previous match, citing the successful return of Daichi Kamada and the improvement of Chris Richards' ankle injury.
Glasner also addressed the issue of defender Marc Guehi, who has been linked with a move to Liverpool. In a statement, Glasner emphasized Guehi's importance to the team, saying that it's impossible to find a replacement who can seamlessly integrate into the Premier League lineup.
