Today's press conference with head coach David Wagner takes place at 12:30 pm.
---------------------------------------------------------------

DW on team news: “Like expected, Fasi and Rowe are back in training. Barnes will miss the first leg. No further doubts. Gibbs and Onel (Hernandez) ruled out.”

DW on Shane Duffy: “He trained as normal for the full week. The club made a statement and I don’t like to speak about it too much. It’s a legal process that’s ongoing. We will see how the week continues. Everybody is super focused."

DW: “It’s good to give everyone the freedom to deal with their emotions. Some might be excited three days before and some when we leave Park Farm to drive to the game.”

DW: “One of our first targets was to be in the top six fighting for promotion. We have done the first step, but this is only the first step. We have a lot of trust in belief in ourselves and we will fight for every inch to make it as uncomfortable as possible.”

DW: “These four months before every home game it was named by you guys as another big game. We are used to it. We had Ipswich, West Brom and Coventry at home in the last months and we have always done the same. Be focused on the details that are relevant”

DW on Leeds United: “The truth is they know more or less everything about us and we know everything about them. Momentum from my experience is not the deciding factor. Had they beaten QPR and Southampton they’d be on the beach now, whereas we’ve been fighting.”

DW on impact of Leeds missing out on automatics: “I have every focus on my team and our situation.”

DW on underdogs: “We are the underdogs and this is not the secret. Does it mean anything? For me not. If anything it means more playing at home at a sold out ground. It’s why everyone loves cup competitions where the underdogs can win.”

DW on previous experiences in the playoffs: “If you have done and done it successfully, you are quite confident on it. You have done it and know how to do it. We will address the important bits to the players. It gives you a percentage more of trust and belief.”

DW on Farke: “90 points was not enough to reach their target of automatic promotion. They now have a 25% chance like we do. You always ask in life to have a chance and we will be there and ready.”

DW: “I’m the last one to give advice to our supporters. They know what is required and they will be there and embrace it. After the Ipswich game, I have every trust and belief they know what is needed.”

That’s all from David Wagner for today at Colney 🤝
