ON THE STATUS OF DIEGO PEROTTI & EL SHAARAWY:
Perotti and El Shaarawy will almost certainly will be called for tomorrow’s match, and one of the two could start from the first minute.

ON PATRICK SCHICK’S ROLE:
In Genoa he came on to the right side and did very well. It showed that with the right mindset, it is a role he can play if he follows my directions.
