West Ham boss Nuno Espirito Santo has been speaking to the media before Saturday's Premier League game against Bournemouth at London Stadium (kick-off 17:30 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
- Speaking about Pablo Felipe's injury: "We have to take it day by day and assess him. He's getting better each day and hopefully he can join us soon."
- He also confirmed that everyone else is "OK" and available for selection for Saturday.
- If they beat the Cherries, West Ham would draw level on points with Nottingham Forest, who do not play until Sunday: "I see it as another game, we have to focus on ourselves, and do our jobs and ignore what is happening with other teams."
- He added: "This is a massive and important game for us at home. I expect a good atmosphere at the London Stadium with the fans helping us, so we can overcome together."
- On Bournemouth: "It's a big test. They are a good team, it's not about comparing [us], but about realising the threats and good players that they have and try to contain them."
- He urged his team to "play the game and recognise that they are a tough opponent. They are a good team with a good dynamic, getting good results. It's up to us to get a good performance".
- On how West Ham have developed during the relegation battle: "I don't see much difference because I see them every day, training and preparing themselves. What I realised is that there is a desire, a commitment to getting out of this situation. I think we have been able to show character."
- On Valentin "Taty" Castellanos's bright start to life in the East End: "I think we have been lucky to have him. Since he's joined, I think he has brought a lot of good things to the team, his energy, hard work, the goals and the way he plays football."
- He added: "We had a look at him [before signing] and decided to bring him in because we believe in him. There was a clear need for a player in that position."
