""There's nothing personally I would have done differently. We did everything we did as a football club to try to look after Yoane. "But it's like with any footballer when they go away on international duty, you're not in control of the minutes they play and unfortunately, he gets injured and now we just have to deal the best we can with that situation. "We think he'll be out until the next international break. He's got a race on to be fit for that Brighton game on 18 October. Hopefully he can make it and then, of course, he'll be such an important player for us.""
""We're going to have to look after Nick. It's hard enough for him to come into a new league - and you could see the physical effects he felt with Wolves and then the quick turnaround. "There's no guarantee even by managing him that he's going to stay fit and play all the games, but we're going to try to give him the best chance to stay fit and also acclimatise to the league that he's in. "But he's made a very good start. He did well when he came on, I was really pleased with him. He was involved in the goal, so he'll hopefully be in a good place.""
Yoane Wissa suffered a knee injury while on international duty with Congo and will be unavailable until after the next international break, with a target return for the Brighton match on 18 October. The club reported that it took measures to look after him but cannot control minutes played on international duty. Nick Woltemade, the club's record signing, will be carefully managed to protect fitness and aid acclimatisation to the Premier League. Woltemade scored the winner against Wolves and featured as a substitute in the Champions League defeat by Barcelona. Management aims to reduce physical strain while maximising his contribution.
