What did you make of the performance tonight?
Was not perfect. I think we started very well in possession, finding good lines. We scored, then we lost a little bit of control. Rennes is a good team, they caused some problems for us.
It is hard to judge all the game with all the circumstances that happened during the game. But I think we finished well, we showed a lot of character and belief to change the result after we conceded.
In the end I think we were in control. A hard team to play, a hard pitch to play, but the attitude was good… a lot of players out of position so it is hard to analyse and be fair.
You lost two players to injury, how are they?
It feels painful, it feels really bad.
Will they be fit for Sunday?
I cannot tell you. They are being taken care of by the medical department. But it’s been tough.
You've been so unfortunate since the international break with absences and injuries, how difficult has that been?
It’s been terrible. I must be honest. Let’s not hide behind nothing. After the Watford game, everything that has happened has not been very good for us.
But this is football and we know it’s a moment we have to overcome. Today, we tried to show the players solutions, thinking about the game on Sunday. But it’s about overcoming obstacles. That will make us stronger for the future, for sure.
