Sainz injury isn't serious but it was a worry at the time as it was the same ankle. It is swollen but he should be training again soon. 50/50 if he'll make the bench but have options if not.
No new injuries. Batth has been fine after his hand time for first team and u21.
Team selection will not be about resting players during this period it is about who has deserved to play from their performances and training
On giannoulis....
'Our attacking idea of football suits him. Very concentrated in and out of possession. I was told in the past, and I have seen it, in moments in games he could lose concentration in key moments.
'Maybe only once I can remember that happening this season. But he is setting high standards and he still has room to improve. Now it is about consistency.
'He is an intelligent guy. He is self-critical. He knows when he has done well and when he hasn't. But he has improved.'
On giannoulis contract
Yes, there will come a point when we discuss this. But we are all focused on the games and what is in front of us. Not contract situations. But I am very happy with what I have seen
