"We have to find solutions and manage the situation,"
"The academy players may get their chance, as well as those who haven't had many minutes so far."
"They have gone through a long period without competing,"
"I hope that from now on they will be with us normally. We need everyone to have more options when making the line-up and to be more competitive."
