Here's what he had to say...

Who is not available to play tomorrow?

Roberto: "“Savio, unfortunately, on Tuesday, before we left for Marbella, he felt a he felt a muscular problem and we lost him for some weeks, unfortunately. Lucas had a problem at the beginning of the game in Manchester, the first chance we created with Solanke, when he regained the ball, his knee… he felt pain. He finished the game, but the day after, (last) Sunday, he came to the training ground to our medical staff. I think two weeks."

Could Dejan Kulusevski be on the bench?

Roberto: “Yes, Kulusevski on the bench. We had a meeting with the medical staff, they gave the okay and it's great news. It's one of the best news after Everton game last season, because Deki, he suffered too much. He deserves to feel emotion on the pitch.

Disappointing for Savio, but how was the training camp in Marbella?

Roberto: "Yes, we worked well, very well, but anyway, we worked well in our training at home. I think when you have to improve, and I think we have to improve in the results, not in the quality of the performances, but you have to find all ways to improve, all ways to be better, all ways to become a stronger group. The players spend time together and they stay together a lot, to create something more than a normal first 11. Now, I think, and I believe in football you need a group, you need the relationships, we need the connection, we need to know very well your team-mates."

Richarlison played for the Under-21s, he's still vocal on social media - is the plan still for a new solution for him in January?

Roberto: "I don't know. It's not my problem anymore. You have to ask Vinai, Johan. It's not my problem. I know as a coach I have to accept, to support pressure, to take responsibility even if it's not my responsibility, because I didn't decide. I have not decided nothing in this situation. If he wants to speak about me, he knows where he can find me. I stay in my office from 8.30 until the evening. I have no problem with nobody, but I don't want to speak anymore because my focus is on the Coventry game and the focus is just to improve my team."

How do you assess Coventry and what sort of challenge do you think you'll face?

Roberto: "Coventry is a good team. They played a fantastic Championship last season. They deserve to win the league and to play in the Premier League this season. They play with energy, with quality also, because they have players, (Sidiki) Cherif, I know very well, and other players, but we are Tottenham and keeping humble, keeping humility, keeping what you want, but we want to show to be good enough to win the games, especially if we deserve to win the games."

When you take a squad away from their normal environment, what can you learn more about your players, or is it more about your players learning more about each other?

Roberto: "More the players each other, because okay, I'm a coach, I take responsibility, but the responsibilities are of everybody, from the boss up to the players. They have to feel to be a team. I think in Manchester, especially in the toughest moment after the red card, we show we have character. So, we have to show character from the beginning at home with our fans, because if we want, we can change the history of this season and last season as well."

When it comes down to the team being clinical, how much of that can you actually help the player, or is that more their natural instinct?

Roberto: "I think if we didn't score, or if we scored just one goal, creating eight, nine chances, my work is to improve the team to create 20 chances to score. And if they are not enough, 25 to 30. I think we have no other ways. I have big confidence in the players. I think if we follow to playing in this way, if we follow to attack, if we follow to defend in this way, and if we follow to creating so many chances to score, we will score many goals and we will win many, many games. It's my opinion."

I just want to check quickly on some of those injuries - Savio, do you think it will be a lot of weeks?

Roberto: "I don't know, but some weeks for sure."

Pedro Porro?

Roberto: "Pedro Porro, I think he's coming - maybe in Chelsea he can play."

What was the moment like when you were able to tell Kulusevski that he was going to be in the matchday squad?

Roberto: “Yesterday, after the training, I spoke with him and I said to him, ‘Deki, look, I spoke with the medical staff, and they gave me the okay’ and he smiled like this. We are happy, we are very, very happy. It's not football. I'm not speaking about football. Okay, he's a special player, but we are speaking about different things. He suffered a lot and his reaction was great.”

I just want to ask you about the trip to Marbella - did you do any special group activities?

Roberto: "No, I left dinner for them and nothing organised from me."
