Team news in...

David Wagner's press conference will commence at 11:30am this morning.
----------------------------------------------------------------

DW on team news: “All good. Everyone is available. There is a few that have played lots of minutes recently, so we have to consider this. Dimi back in training and a high possibility he will start. Josh (Sargent) and Grant (Hanley) will be involved.”

DW: “Lungi will get minutes tomorrow. But he needs minutes in the U21s to build his fitness.”

DW on Sara and Rowe interest: “I love them and love to work with them. We will do this for the next months and hopefully more years. We hope they can do well moving forwards.”

DW: “The squad will not look like it looks like today. Every window you look into the future. I know Ben and his department are working hard towards a successful window. We need to give them time to make decisions.”

DW on players out of contract: “We are in conversation with them, but we keep everything calm. Six months in football is massive, so nobody knows what happens in this time.”

DW on one year in charge: “I said right at the beginning, I love being here and living here. We like to improve and push forward. But there are lots of things in place to bring back the success this football club deserves. We’ve made these first steps.”

DW on FA Cup: “I’m from Germany and the FA Cup is something very special. It’s the oldest competition in world football. I like this competition as it’s traditional. We’ve sold 18,000 tickets up to today.”

DW on Bristol Rovers: “We don’t want a rematch. But if we have to then we take it. I’m really looking forward to the game tomorrow especially as we are at home.”

DW: “It’s up to us to play with the right intensity and energy. We like to win. They are a league below but this won’t be easy, it’s not written in stone.”

DW on setup against Southampton: “This is not our general approach, but it was pleasing to see the players can perform in this setup. Nobody knows what happens in May and what you might need.”

That concludes David Wagner’s press conference for today
