Press news in...

We're at Coolknee for a rather brief PC presser.
----------------------------------------------------

PC on midweek schedule: "All these things come into the equation. Do you have two or three days of recovery? All these things you discuss."

PC on fitness - "Everybody came out of the game well. Paris is all good as well."

PC - "Jovon is training with the team, I expect him back in the team in the coming weeks. But he needs to prove himself in the training sessions."

PC on front three - "If I play that front three every game for 90 minutes, they will break down. We need to avoid that now."

PC - "The more explosive athletes have a greater chance of injury. We have to take all of those things into account."

PC on Birmingham - "They are a really strong squad and a clear style of play. They are less affected by the financial fair play, as they stepped up from League One, which makes a difference. They have a good manager and a clear style of play, it will be a big challenge."

PC - "Losing two games to Birmingham last season motivates me."

PC on the difference from his first game against Birmingham - "The squad is much fitter now than they were at that moment. We are still working on the new players and getting them involved in the story."

PC on game under the lights - "We were pleased to give our fans the win at Sheffield. I want to hear our fans roar again at home like they did against Burnley; starting like we did was important. I hope they can get behind us from minute one again tomorrow."

PC - "One of my nicest memories as a player was in the Champions League was winning against one of the best AC Milan teams of all time. We won that game 1-0 with two chances. You can live on both sides, but if your performances are better in 80/90% of the game than your opponents, then you will get results.

That is all from Philippe Clement for today at a wet Colney.
