Romeo [Lavia] is today first time in the session and it was a pleasure to see him playing. Would like to have him in the squad at the weekend but I think I don’t have the OK so far from the physios, so we have to wait. With Armel [Bella-Kotchap], it also looks good. It can be next week that he starts to train with the team. With Kyle [Walker-Peters] it’s not that good, I think. – Ralph Hasenhuttl

 

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

 

RULED OUT: Richarlison (calf), Dejan Kulusevski (hamstring)

 

MIGHT PLAY: Cristian Romero (match fitness)

 

“Now we have to manage him very well because he played and finished the game with great will and great desire. For this reason, it’s right also to say thanks to him and also Pierre [Hojbjerg]. I think Cuti [Romero] needed to recover better but Pierre is OK, 100%. Cuti is OK but we have another important game on Tuesday and for this reason, we try to make the best decision for him.” – Antonio Conte on Cristian Romero
