Pre-match press conference: Patrick Vieira on team news, injuries and Spurs

Patrick Vieira has talked in pre-match press conference ahead of the Crystal Palace EPL game against Tottenham Hotspur. First of all, the Palace head coach has spoken about the injured players.
"Jeffrey Schlupp came back with an injury. He felt his hamstring so he won't be involved into the game tomorrow. Everybody else came back fit. Eze and Nathan are progressing and it will still take a while for them to getback and train with the team.   "Olise has been working well the last two weeks and has trained all week. He'll be involved in the game tomorrow."
About whether he's happy or not with the way they worked during the transfer window.
"I believe that we're still a little bit short in places. We wanted to do more business and we couldn't do it. Overall I'm really satisfied with the business that we did.   "We bring in some young talent and we have the squad that can compete in the Premier League."
About Marc Guehi's Under-21 captaincy and future at the club.
"I don't know if he can be the future Palace captain, but he has the ability to be a captain He's a natural leader. he's really calm, he's really composed and I think this is a sign of leadership. I'm really happy with the way he's developing himself on and off the field."
Having been asked about Gallagher/Lampard comparisons, the Eagles' boss responded.
"I think it will be a big challenge to score as many goals as Frank did in his career, but it's a really good comparison.   "Conor has the physical ability to allow him to get inside the box and create chances. Look at the two goals against West Ham, showing his commitment to get inside the box and the quality to score those goals, to finish the way he did. This is the challenge for him, get into those dangerous areas and score those goals. he can do it and obviously, he will do it and it'll be a big season for him."
