Quote: "We’re waiting for Reece James to undergo a scan… we don’t have any new updates yet.

Malo Gusto was with us, but he felt unwell overnight. Pedro Neto had some issues with his international team, and we didn’t want to take any risks," Maresca explained.

Reminder: Following their victory over Leicester, Maresca's team has solidified their position in third place in the Premier League table, holding a three-point lead over their closest rivals.
