Moyes presser on team news and Fonte

|
David Moyes told reporters this afternoon: “It’s good news, we’ve got a lot of players back training. We’re without the long termers Carroll, Obiang and Fernandes but in the main, we’re close to getting the players back.
“Lanzini is back training, he’s running around and hopefully that’s him fit for the rest of the season. Reid is back and will be part of the squad too.”
 On Jose Fonte he admitted: “I can confirm that he is close to going to China. He wants to get into the Portuguese squad for the World Cup and I wish him good luck. He’s a good professional.”
On the Liverpool game “It’s a tough game, but we’re in a good run of form ourselves. It will not be easy to stop Mane, Salah and Firmino. We will try to contain them – they have other players of course but those three can create on their own. We’ll go there and hope that with the players we have in our team we will cause them problems as well.
It would do big things, not just back-to-back wins but if we win at Anfield that would be a big confidence booster.
We’ve done well against what you’d call the big teams recently and we hope we can do so again on Saturday.”
