Rafael Benitez Cope Quotations

It is a blow to us because of the big games in Europe that we have coming up, but we have a good squad and we will have to cope without him.

At this stage, with all Premiership clubs you've got to play good teams. Maybe Birmingham will be more concerned about their league position and this might not be as important to them as staying in the division. I feel I've got a big enough squad to cope with playing in three competitions and all I can say is that I'd have rather been drawn at home.
