Asked whether Richards is likely to miss the weekend’s game against Brentford in SE25, Glasner added: “I don’t think so at the moment, but we don’t take any risks because Chris didn’t play against AEK Larnaca – we rested him for that game – so it’s not that his load is high. Let’s see – I can’t tell you more at the moment.”
On his two confirmed starters, Glasner said: “Jaydee will start, and also Walter Benítez will start – they are the two players I can mention today.
“It’s not a gift – they deserve it. Jaydee, I spoke to him and said I don’t care about [his error against Larnaca last week], it’s part of football. He won a lot of duels, and he’s doing well in training. We trust him, and that’s why he will start tomorrow in the back three.
“Walter is the same. He’s doing so well in training, and he deserves to get some minutes as well.”
