During the international break he is pleased to see that the injury list has reduced and had encouraging news of when new signing, Mamadou Sakho, will be back in red and blue.
"Almost everybody is getting fit with only Connor Wickham and Wilfried Zaha still injured. Mamadou Sakho is not quite match fit but he is looking good and has worked very hard this week and could probably play 35 minutes for the Under 23 side on Monday.
"The players who have joined back in this week after injury, like Loftus-Cheek, Tomkins, Kaikai, will probably all be available for Sunday but we will have a look tomorrow in training.
