Training Exclusive: West Bromwich Albion
The lads have been back on the training pitch this morning in preparation for Saturday's Premier League fixture against West Brom.
“[It will be] one month [for Amartey]. He can come back after this injury. There is an interesting competition in the squad and players show spirit to fight for their places.”
On the competition for places within his squad, Puel added: "We have some players starting a lot of games, of course, and I think about the other players who are in competition to find a place.
"It’s about our play, it’s about the confidence and finding the clinical edge."
