He said: “Probably 95 per cent of the time I’ve been manager here the squad has picked itself but when everyone’s fit and well unfortunately one or two are going to miss out.

“That’ll be the case on Saturday.

“It’s football, it is what it is. It’s not a nice thing but as a manager you’ve got to do it.

“There’s lads chomping at the bit and the squad’s at full tilt.

“It’s a big selection problem, but a nice one. I’d rather have the bodies than not have the bodies.”
