He added: “When you win you sometimes want another game so we can keep going, but unfortunately that is not the case.

“The players will get a chance to rest and we should see more players back with us, hopefully Marco Matias and Fernando Forestieri. Then we will play Preston at home and we must play as well as we did today to get another good result.”
