The match against the London club proved painful for us. Hopefully, we have learnt a lot. Now we have to begin earning results.”
Regarding the winger: “He was not fit enough in the end. The scan revealed a very slight problem in his hip and it’s an excellent chance for Harvey to come in.”
Still no the experienced striker from the Forest lineup, while Matz Sels, Murillo, Anderson plus Dan Ndoye are back.
Lukas Nmecha replaces the goal-shy the Everton loanee, that struggled at Brighton in the previous round.
