Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Brentford at Gtech Community Stadium (kick-off 15:00 BST).

Here are the key lines from his news conference:

Glasner provided a team news update saying he "hoped" that "Evann Guessand returns to the squad for Sunday" while there is a "bit more of a question over Borna Sosa" who might be out until the final game of the season against Arsenal. Everyone else is available.
On Maxence Lacroix and Jean-Philippe Mateta being named in France's squad for the World Cup: "I'm very pleased and delighted for Maxence and JP. Maxence had his debut in March. It's massive for both of them and I'm delighted because they work so hard. I talked to Maxence two years ago, it was his dream to play for France. He could fulfill it and he deserves all the credit because he has worked so hard. He is playing so consistently on a high level."
On how impressed he has been with Keith Andrews' first season in charge of Brentford: "Very impressed. Doing so well, he kept their style. They sold [Bryan] Mbeumo and [Yoane] Wissa in the summer and they made some good signings. They followed the pathway they started a few years ago. It is maybe the most important part of their success in the way they sign players and managers. Consistency is very important for this. He [Andrews] is doing an amazing job."
On rotating the squad: "There has been a lot of travelling, it is good to play both games in London now [against Brentford and Arsenal in final two games] but I don't talk about the amount of games anymore and rotating. Players are fit and if somebody doesn't feel ready for a final in 10 days, look for another job. Now is the most important part of the season, very exciting, everybody is fresh. We won't rotate massively."
