Iraola on Senesi injury, Tavernier and West Ham

Marcos Senesi is out with an injury that will require surgery. "It's a big one. Three, four months normally is what it takes," said Iraola. Marcus Tavernier also has a muscle injury but Iraola said it is a "normal" one and he will be out for "some weeks". Tyler Adams is expected to be available on Monday.

On Tavernier: "He's a very good player and gives us a lot in all facets of the game. Tactically, he's very smart and we can use him in different positions. He's playing a lot in the middle as a 10 but the other night, as an eight, he did very well. He is an important player for us."

On three wins in eight days: "When you're in a competition, you don't enjoy it a lot. If you win or you lose you have to do this [enjoy it or not] in a period of 24 hours and then start thinking about the next game. It has been a very good week - it's nine points."

On whether he has changed much since his first game in charge: "I hope that I have changed and improved. I know my players better. I have more clear [ideas] on what should be. They know me much better and we understand each other. That's the advantage of being here for 18 months."

On West Ham: "They are a very good team and they have very good players. We had experience [against them] in the cup - it was a very level game that they won in the last minute. I expect something similar and they also had an important win on Monday."

On whether August's Carabao Cup defeat by the Hammers will be useful: "I think it's useful, because the players in the main will be the sameand we've kept the structures quite similar, so it's a good reference. We played quite well that game but it wasn't enough to beat them. I hope we can be better, especially in the last third."

On Julen Lopetegui: "We have crossed [paths] many times. Julen is always difficult - he's a very good coach, experienced and it's the Premier League. every week you face a good opposition manager and you have to be ready for the challenge - and I hope we are on Monday."
