Ryan Mason addressed the room first: Before we start I'd just like to congratulate our Under-18s from our academy because they won the Under-18s Premier League cup last night. Backed the Under-17s up. It's important and good for the football club.
What's the latest injury news?
Hugo's out for the season. We had the results back. Obviously disappointing, but we kind of feared that initially. We did some more tests and he won't play for us again this season.
Will Lloris be here next season?
I can't speak about next season but what I can say is that he has a very important role for us until the end of the season. We need him. We need him to be part of the group and I'm sure he will be.

Is Rodrigo Bentancur on track?
These types of injuries you have to be very careful with. We see sometimes they can reoccur. We're assessing him day by day. He's making progress but it's probably too early to set a return date.
Would that affect summer business?
Not sure on that one. Maybe in the summer there'll be conversations and discussions. We're all aware in this football club that we have three and a half weeks to finish the season as strongly as possible on the football pitch, and that's our main focus.
Have you been kept updated on the new manager search?
I'm sure naturally when there's uncertainty there are going to be names. That's football, that's part of it. But none of my energy is going into any outside noise or speculation. Within these walls we're working together and have a common goal, and that's trying to get as many results as possible before the end of the season. I'm sure in the summer things will happen but at the moment that's pretty irrelevant.
What a job Roy Hodgson's doing down there?
Amazing. Amazing. I will obviously always have a soft spot for Roy Hodgson because he gave me my England debut. So I will always be thankful for that. But of course we are playing Crystal Palace in a very good moment, probably their best moment of the season. We understand it will be a difficult match but at the same time we're confident in our stadium with our fans that we can get a result.
Does it show that Roy still has a lot to offer?
Yeah of course. Recent results and performances suggest that. I think the most important thing in football is if you have the fire inside you and if you can influence players, and he's definitely got that still.
