Live updates as Wrexham take on Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round.
“Brilliant for Romeo to get his 60 minutes because we’ve done his rehab in a different way, where we’ve been more patient and built him up in a different way and Dario the same.
“For them to both get 60 minutes in today is brilliant because we’re going to need everyone for the run in.”
On Lavia getting up to speed: “He’s a top player but you can’t expect perfection from a player whose been out for four months.”
“We’re going into a period of games where, for example, Romeo Lavia can be really important to us.
“He has to play minutes and we have to get him up to speed. Like Dario Essugo, we have to give them the time on the pitch.
“It’s not just about your first 11 or 12 players, to get us to where we want to be.
“The only way that our players and our squad are going to help us to achieve what I think is possible is for them to be sharp and ready.”
“He’s in a great place. His energy levels for 120 minutes were magnificent considering he played a full 90 on Wednesday.
“He’s in a really, really good place and it’s great to see him get his form at an important stage of the season.”
