Le Bris has players missing at Afcon and Dan Ballard is out injured. However, his players who have stepped up have done well: "I told you before the Afcon we don't have to set a limit because we have many good players. They have to learn and show their quality on the pitch. If you give them the structure, the confidence and great leaders they will play well."

The boss commented on how Eliezer Mayenda has been one of those players: "He showed he can deliver in another position and he is totally different from the start of the season he played as a striker. He plays a hybrid role and I am confident in him. He is really young and learning. He is more versatile which is important as a manager."

On the clean sheet against Manchester City: "It is really positive for the club, squad and lads because we are playing against the best in Europe and it shows we can be confident. It is good for the confidence and good for the individual projects. We need to reset quickly because this is relentless. It's important to show that it is a tough place to be. If you are not bold or aggressive it is impossible to protect your goal."

Le Bris is hopeful for the Spurs game: "It will be a tough challenge - they are in a great place. It will be an exciting challenge for the squad. Like us they have highs and lows, but the main thing for us is how we identify. We can expect gifts from the opponent, so let's focus on this."
