Van Nistelrooy: 'Great friend' Maresca convinced me about Leicester
Ruud van Nistelrooy speaks for the first time as new Leicester City manager and admitted that his great friend and former Foxes boss Enzo Maresca gave him advice ahead of applying for the vacant role.
Leicester team news
Leicester are confident Caleb Okoli will be fit for Tuesday's trip to Leicester after he limped out of the 4-1 loss to Brentford.
Okoli came off injured in the first half of the heavy defeat in west London, which midfielder Harry Winks also missed.
"Caleb was part of the team training today and looked good," said Leicester boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
"We’re waiting on his reaction, he pushed to be there today. All being well, he can play tomorrow.
"Harry is doing individual work, he’s still not part of team training but his rehab is going well. Hopefully we can welcome him back soon."
Van Nistelrooy on what type of team he likes
Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy on what the characteristics of his team will be:
"I think of one thing. Before any game that I prepare, and that’s winning it. When you play top teams in the Premier League, or middle teams, or lower-ranked teams, it requires a different approach.
"The style of play is adjusted on how we can win. I’m not the romantic type of manager to put style in front of results.
"I love style, I love having the ball, pressing a team high, creating lots of chances, but we’re facing opponents here. We’re not the dominant side in this league."
Kudus back, Fullkrug close to return
Winger Mohammed Kudus is available against after serving out an extended five-game ban.
West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui, though, suggested Kudus may not be thrown straight into the side again.
"Mohammed Kudus is back, but he has missed a lot of matches," said the Irons boss, who served his own one-game touchline ban against the Gunners.
"He is fit and ready, which is good news for us because it is a good thing to have more players available."
Lopetegui also revealed summer signing Niclas Fullkrug was "very close" to a return following his calf and Achilles problems which have kept the German forward out since the start of September.
Lopetegui expecting demanding Van Nistelrooy test
West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui feels his side must be prepared to face a demanding challenge when they head to Leicester for Ruud van Nistelrooy's first game in charge.
Dutchman Van Nistelrooy has replaced Steve Cooper, sacked by the Foxes after just five months in charge, and watched on as his new side were thumped 4-1 at Brentford on Saturday.
The former Manchester United assistant coach and PSV Eindhoven boss will have had little time to work with the players as he looks to arrest a run of four defeats from the last five Premier League games.
Nevertheless, Lopetegui - whose team were beaten 5-2 at home by Arsenal on Saturday - will expect nothing less than a stern test when they head to the KP Stadium.
"I think that Ruud is a very good manager - he has shown this before in the teams that he has worked and he has experience in the Premier League," Lopetegui said.
"We have to be ready, because I am sure the next challenge is going to be very tough and demanding.
"That extra step and energy which happens when a new coach arrives is always important.
"Leicester also have good players, and the KP Stadium demands a lot, so we need to show our best version to compete there.
"I don't know what he (Van Nistelrooy) is thinking in his mind, but this is not in our control.
"One of the difficulties when you face a new manager is you don't really know what he is going to do - but I prefer to put the focus on ourselves and be ready to fight tomorrow."
