Potter on team news, Summerville’s set back and Brentford

Lucas Paqueta and Edson Alvarez have trained with the squad and are expected to be available and so is Jean-Clair Todibo.

Winger Crysencio Summerville “has had a setback” in his recovery and is not likely to return until after the international break.

Potter said he has “had a rest but not too much of one” and added that the squad “have a bit of freshness” to them following a weekend off.

On new loan signing Evan Ferguson: “He’s trained well. He hasn’t played loads of football recently, so we have to be careful with that. He’s shown his quality, and is ready to help the team, and we feel he’ll just get better and better.”

Potter says Ferguson will give him another option going forward as they have “had to adapt at the front end of the pitch” because of injuries.

He said Saturday’s game against Brentford “will be tough” as “they attack and defend well”.

On James Ward-Prowse, who was recalled from his loan spell at Nottingham Forest: “He’s come in and done well. He’s an experienced player, and I’ve been really impressed with him.”
