For the rest, not any updates,' Maresca said.
'Romeo, we all consider him a top player, but the most important thing is for him to be fit.'Kiernan is still out. Unfortunately Wes will be out for a very long time and Benoit will be out for at least until February.'Unfortunately he could be out for the season. We don't know exactly, but he could be out for part of the season. Every time you ask me about Wes, I said many times I am in love with Wes.'It was the first update and the first information we had, but having a test, we realised it was worst than what we thought at the beginning. It is hamstring and unfortunately, we are going to lose him for a while
