Yahoo Sports Van Nistelrooy on 'unity', transfers and injuries
Leicester City boss Ruud van Nistelrooy has been speaking to the media before Sunday's Premier League game against Tottenham (kick-off 14:00 GMT).
Here are the key lines from his news conference:
On the club's transfer situation Van Nistelrooy said: "We are looking at options within the possibility to strengthen the squad, and also this deal with Tom [Cannon] is part of that situation. So we are addressing that, and are looking at players to strengthen the team within the possibilities that are there at the moment."
On Leicester bad form he said: "We know where we are in the league but for the remaining games it's about getting out of this situation. Sunday is a new game where we can start fighting to get out of this period. This is when you need character, togetherness and unity. We are that."
Asked about his own job security the Dutchman offered: "I'm focused on getting this team out of the situation, that's my only concern."
He called for his side to "roll-up their sleeves".
New signing Wayo Coulibaly could play a part against Tottenham after "a very good start to the week".
He is hopeful that midfielder Wilfred Ndidi can be involved in team training next week but he will miss out on the upcoming game.
Winger Abdul Fatawu is making "very good" progress but his manager added: "The steps he has to make, he's making them. But we also know the length of the injury, it isn't in the short term."
Injured goalkeeper Mads Hermansen is "making good steps but needs to make further steps to be involved in team training and playing games".
