Press news in...

Dean Smith's pre-Huddersfield press conference begins at 9am.
----------------------------------------------------------------

DS: “Lungi unfortunately had a scan yesterday and has a stress fracture in his foot, putting him out for a number of weeks.”

DS: “Teemu’s got a bruised foot. He’s having an x-ray this morning and he played the rest of the game, so we’re hopeful he’ll be okay.”

DS: “It’s unprecedented to lose three players in one position. Byram trained, but tomorrow might be too early.
We’ll look in the market but for Tuesday we'll have to look for other options within the squad. There's not an option to recall Bali until January."

DS: “Sinani is in our thoughts because of how he’s trained and played against Birmingham.”

DS: "Adam Idah will train today. The swelling has gone down on his knee."

DS: “We’ve got new players in the team. Nacho (Nunez), Sara, Hayden and AJ (Ramsey). It’s not about a hangover from last season.”

DS: “We did the debrief yesterday and showed them the mistakes. The size of the chances we are creating are very good. We will win games.”

That concludes Dean Smith’s press conference.
