Milner has had a scan, could be out 1-3 weeks - "It is not a big issue. With him we have to go day by day, see how he gets integrated in the team, how fast he can play without any problems and there we have to see step by step. We have to be patient."
O'Riley going through rehab - "He has a great attitude. Immediately after surgery he is very positive. He is around us in the training ground. He is doing his rehab already. I think he will be coming back quite fast."
Ferdi could make his debut.
March making progress - "I wouldn't say close. If you are injured for that long time it is a long way back. He is now training fully with us but he cannot do every training session. We have to be very patient. The positive thing is he is back on the training pitch and he can go at this intensity. He is in very good shape. We are all impressed how good he is already."
On Albion not winning some games last season where we were "expected" to - "We try to bring a new environment, another culture. Every coach thinks differently. Of course I know this topic but I won't make it big in the locker room or in meetings because it is a new season. It is a new style of play, a new situation."
Highlighted how internationals can help player confidence, mentions both Lamptey and Baleba.
Wieffer will train today and a decision made - "We don't need to take a risk. We won't take any high risk."
Moder may be part of the squad on Saturday after getting some minutes with Poland.
On Ipswich - "They want to play out from the back. They don't use a lot of long balls so that is a clear structure, no matter if they play against Liverpool or City or Fulham. They have a clear identity and it is very impressive. We expect a very strong opponent."
