“Everyone wants to push, wants to play,” he said.

“It's going to be difficult for me to even do the squad and decide the starting XI, the subs and this, but it's good for the team.

“I think Lew [Lewis Cook] was the last one there, but he has been training normal for us all week, so everyone is ready.”

Iraola said forward Justin Kluivert is ready to play, too, after he returned from injury onto the bench at Fulham, but did not come on.

“He was ready even against Fulham,” Iraola said.

“I think we decided not to put him probably because of the 10 against 10, very demanding, a lot of spaces.

“It's not probably the perfect scenario for him not to play his first minutes, but he was even ready 10 days ago, so definitely he's ready for tomorrow.”
